Disguised as Ovarian Tumor: A Rare Case of Uterine Abscess Due to Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Infection.

Abstract

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) causes invasive infections in the community setting. We report a rare case of uterine abscess due to hvKp, which appeared as a large-sized ovarian tumor-like pelvic mass. A timely laboratory warning of possible hvKp prompted correct diagnosis and helped guide perioperative decision making, contributing to successful treatment.
