A Case of Pylephlebitis Without Intra-abdominal Infection Secondary to Pneumonia Caused by Hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae. [PDF]
CureusPylephlebitis is an infective, suppurative thrombosis of the portal vein that is often a complication of intra-abdominal infections. Herein, we report a rare case of hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia complicated by pylephlebitis.
