Beyond the abscess: Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess combined with bloodstream infection
Nearly one-third of patients with KPLA have concurrent KP-BSI. A SOFA score ≥2 is an independent risk factor, whereas abscess diameter >10 cm is protective. KPLA/KP-BSI is associated with significantly higher rates of septic shock, organ dysfunction, and in-hospital mortality, warranting heightened clinical attention.
