Abstract

Gas-forming pyogenic liver abscess (GFPLA) is uncommon and associated with high mortality if improperly treated. We experienced a case of GFPLA due to Klebsiella Pneumoniae in a 47-year-old man with newly diagnosed DM. Classical 'alveolar gas pattern' is easily identified via X-ray with similar finding on CT scan. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage was performed to drain the abscess.
