A Case of Cervical Lymph Node Abscess Caused by Hypermucoviscous <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>

Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae), an oral and intestinal commensal bacterium, is a major cause of community-acquired infections, such as respiratory, urinary, and intra-abdominal infections. In recent years, invasive pathologies caused by hypervirulent K. pneumoniae, a variant that has increasingly been recognized as causing severe and life-threatening infections, including liver abscesses and systemic bloodstream dissemination/sepsis, have been reported.
