Computed Tomographic Differences of Pyogenic Liver Abscesses Caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae and non-Klebsiella pneumoniae

Abstract

KLA had a series of characteristic intra-abscess features; septal breakage, turquoise-like structure, hairball-like content, air-fluid level, and no enhanced rim. When turquoise/hairball sign or air-fluid level is present in abscess, KLA would be a probable diagnosis in the clinical field.
