ABSTRACT
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a pathogen that causes a wide range of infections in human, and has a tendency to metastasize to multiple organs. We report two rare cases of K. pneumoniae infection that have spread to multiple organs without being accompanied by liver abscess. A 59-year-old man (case 1) was admitted due to left knee pain. Microbiologic and radiologic studies revealed bacteremia, septic arthritis, pneumonia, prostatitis, and endophthalmitis caused by K. pneumoniae. A 48-year-old man (case 2) was admitted due to febrile sensation. Microbiologic and radiologic studies revealed bacteremia, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, endophthalmitis, and cerebritis caused by K. pneumoniae. With appropriate use of effective antibiotics and therapeutic measures, the patients recovered but with some sequelae.
