A rare association of liver abscess and rhabdomyolysis induced by Klebsiella oxytoca.
Introduction: We report the case of a 76-year-old male who was hospitalized with severe dehydration, pain in the hepatic region, and weakness in the limbs.
Methodology: A contrast-enhanced abdomen CT and a contrast-enhanced ultrasound identified a large liver abscess. The patient underwent percutaneous drainage of the abscess.
Results: The culture examination, analyzed by multiplex polymerase chain reaction test, showed the presence of Klebsiella oxytoca. The laboratory report identified a resistance mechanism involving a plasmid-mediated SHV-1 extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase (ESBL).
Conclusions: K. oxytoca is a Gram-negative bacterium and is potentially associated with a large variety of infections. The association between the liver abscess by K. oxytoca and rhabdomyolysis had not yet been described in the literature.
