Résumé
We report the case of a 76-year-old male who was hospitalized with severe dehydration, pain in the hepatic region, and weakness in the limbs. A contrast-enhanced abdomen CT and a contrast-enhanced ultrasound identified a large liver abscess. The patient underwent percutaneous drainage of the abscess. The culture examination, analyzed by multiplex polymerase chain reaction test, showed the presence of Klebsiella oxytoca. The laboratory report identified a resistance mechanism involving a plasmid-mediated SHV-1 extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase (ESBL). K. oxytoca is a Gram-negative bacterium and is potentially associated with a large variety of infections. The association between the liver abscess by K. oxytoca and rhabdomyolysis had not yet been described in the literature.
