Coming soonA Klebsiella lung abscess is a severe, necrotizing pulmonary infection characterized by microbial liquefactive necrosis of the lung parenchyma, resulting in one or more cavities containing purulent material and debris.
Caused by the encapsulated Gram-negative bacillus *Klebsiella pneumoniae* (or related *Klebsiella* species), it typically develops as a complication of aspiration pneumonia, necrotizing pneumonia, or hematogenous dissemination from extrapulmonary foci.
This condition disproportionately affects adult and elderly patients with predisposing comorbidities, including alcohol use disorder, diabetes mellitus, chronic lung disease, or other immunocompromising states.
Clinically, it presents with high fever, cough producing thick or hemoptysis-streaked sputum, pleuritic chest pain, and characteristic cavitary lesions with air-fluid levels visible on chest imaging.
