Coming soon*Klebsiella pneumoniae* peritonitis is an acute, severe bacterial infection and inflammation of the peritoneum caused by the Gram-negative bacillus *Klebsiella pneumoniae*.
It typically affects patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis, individuals with cirrhosis and ascites (as spontaneous bacterial peritonitis), or hospitalized patients experiencing intra-abdominal surgical complications or gastrointestinal perforation.
Pathophysiologically, the organism enters the peritoneal cavity through transmural bacterial translocation from the gut, luminal contamination of indwelling catheters, or hematogenous seeding, provoking a marked inflammatory response.
Defining clinical features include diffuse abdominal pain, rebound tenderness, fever, and cloudy peritoneal fluid with a markedly elevated neutrophil count, often accompanied by systemic toxicity and risks associated with multidrug-resistant strains.
