  • Title: Metastatic endophthalmitis and thyroid abscess complicating Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess.
    Author: Kim SJ, Chu ST, Lee KS, Nam SW, Choi JK, Chung JW, Kwon HC.
    Journal: Clin Mol Hepatol; 2018 Mar; 24(1):88-91. PubMed ID: 28656747.
    Abstract:
    The thyroid is resistant to infection due to its anatomical and physiological characteristics. We present a rare case of invasive liver abscess with metastatic thyroid abscess and endogenous endophthalmitis in a previously healthy 55-year-old female patient without diabetes or other medical illness. This report raises an important question of the virulence of Klebsiella pneumoniae as an increasingly common causative agent of liver abscess.
