Abstract

A diabetic woman suffered from deep neck infection, endophthalmitis, urinary tract infection, and mycotic aneurysm associated Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteremia for 4 months. Aneurysmectomy and antibiotic therapy terminated recurrent K pneumoniae sepsis suggestive of removal of the pathogen niche in an artery, which served as the root of serial infections. The DNA fingerprints of K pneumoniae isolates indicated that the same strain K pneumoniae caused all the infection episodes. The case is reported and its clinical implications are discussed.
