A Fatal Case of Necrotizing Pneumonia Caused by Hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae. [PDF]
Clin Case RepNecrotizing pneumonia has a high mortality rate of approximately 50%. Its computed tomography findings lack enhancement in areas of consolidation. These findings should be interpreted as potentially indicative of a severe clinical course. Hypermucovisous
