Higher rate of colorectal cancer among patients with pyogenic liver abscess with<i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>than those without: an 11‐year follow‐up study

Abstract

Patients with K. pneumoniae PLA had a significantly higher rate of subsequent CRC than did patients with non-K. pneumoniae PLA. Colonoscopy is recommended to detect occult colonic malignancy in patients with PLA, particularly for patients over 60 years of age and with K. pneumoniae.
