Predictors of Septic Metastatic Infection and Mortality among Patients with<i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>Liver Abscess

Abstract

Management of primary liver abscess caused by K. pneumoniae with use of first-generation cephalosporins and percutaneous drainage was associated with low rates of mortality, metastatic infection, and complications. These rates are comparable to those reported for third-generation cephalosporins.
