A 69-year-old man consulted a local doctor because of a chief complaint of fever and
anorexia
. CT showed a giant liver mass of the right hepatic lobe and multiple pulmonary nodules. The patient was admitted to our hospital. We punctured the liver mass, obtaining pus, and as gram-negative bacilli were detected from both blood and pus cultures, a liver abscess with septic pulmonary embolism was diagnosed. Following a positive string test, we identified the pathogenic bacteria as hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae, which is highly invasive to the tissues. The patient showed improvement following the administration of an antimicrobial agent (
Meropenem
) and multiple abscess drainage procedures.
