Panophthalmitis complicated with asymptomatic pyogenic liver abscess caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae: A case report
This case highlights the need for systemic evaluation in patients with severe ocular infections, even in the absence of systemic symptoms. It also underscores the potential for serious infections such as Kp-related liver abscess to present solely with ocular manifestations. Early suspicion and comprehensive assessment can prevent misdiagnosis and improve outcomes.
