폐렴막대균(Klebsiella pneumoniae)의 전립샘고름집으로부터 혈행파종으로 발생한 뇌고름집

Abstract

Brain abscess, a life-threatening infection, can result from hematogenous spread. Although uncommon, Klebsiella pneumoniae can lead to brain abscess and systemic dissemination. In this case report, Klebsiella pneumoniae brain abscess, linked with prostate abscess, in a 57-year-old diabetic male with liver cirrhosis and hepatitis B, resulted in fatal sepsis despite antibiotic therapy. This case underscores Klebsiella's grave risk in immunocompromised patients, highlighting brain abscess and high mortality. Early diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation for multiple organ involvement are crucial.
