Klebsiella septicemia

Klebsiella septicemia is a life-threatening bloodstream infection characterized by the dissemination of Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the genus *Klebsiella* (most commonly *Klebsiella pneumoniae*) into the systemic circulation It primarily affects hospitalized, elderly, or immunocompromised individuals, frequently originating from primary foci in the respiratory system, urinary tract, hepatobiliary system, or indwelling vascular devices

It primarily affects hospitalized, elderly, or immunocompromised individuals, frequently originating from primary foci in the respiratory system, urinary tract, hepatobiliary system, or indwelling vascular devices Pathophysiologically, bacterial proliferation in the bloodstream triggers a profound host systemic inflammatory response driven by endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides) and capsular virulence factors, which can precipitate hemodynamic instability, microvascular hypoperfusion, multiorgan dys...

It primarily affects hospitalized, elderly, or immunocompromised individuals, frequently originating from primary foci in the respiratory system, urinary tract, hepatobiliary system, or indwelling vascular devices Clinically, it manifests with high fever or hypothermia, tachycardia, tachypnea, hypotension, altered mental status, and a propensity for metastatic seeding to distant organs such as the liver, eyes, or central nervous system

Pathophysiologically, bacterial proliferation in the bloodstream triggers a profound host systemic inflammatory response driven by endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides) and capsular virulence factors, which can precipitate hemodynamic instability, microvascular hypoperfusion, multiorgan dysfunction syndrome, and septic shock
