How does hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae influence the risk and visual outcomes of endogenous endophthalmitis in Klebsiella pneumoniae pyogenic liver abscess? A systematic review and meta analysis
EE is a devastating complication of KP-PLA, particularly in diabetic patients infected with hvKP. Early recognition of at-risk patients and prompt intervention, including early vitrectomy, are crucial to improve visual outcomes. These findings highlight the clinical importance of hvKP in the pathogenesis of EE and reinforce the need for vigilant ophthalmic monitoring in KP-PLA cases.
