Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is an emerging cause of community‐acquired pyogenic liver abscess (PLA), classically described in East and Southeast Asia. We report two cases of hvKp‐associated PLA in Caucasian women of American origin with no history of international travel, animal exposure, or Asian food consumption. Both patients

Infection still remains the most common immediate cause of death in the immunocompromised host. Because of the decreased host defenses leading not only to an increased susceptibility to a variety of opportunistic pathogens (in particular the fungi) but also to a decreased host inflammatory response and resultant clinical findings, infections in these ...

Fever in Immunocompromised Hosts
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2013Fever is one of the most common reasons for the emergency department presentation of immunocompromised patients. Their differential diagnosis can be broad and includes rare or unexpected pathogens. Certain infectious causes of fever portend true emergencies; if they are not managed appropriately, rapid progression and death may ensue.

Pneumonia in the Immunocompromised Host
Seminars in Roentgenology, 2022Pneumonia in the immunocompromised host can be devastating and can result from both common and opportunistic organisms. This paper examines the imaging findings in mostly opportunistic organisms which cause pneumonia in the immunocompromised host. Some organisms, such as tuberculosis, non-tuberculous mycobacteria, and influenza will also be discussed ...

Abstract Infections in immunocompromised patients may occur in the clinical setting of neutropenia, B-cell and T-cell deficiencies, immunoglobulin deficiencies, complement deficiencies, and leukocyte dysfunction. Some patients have multiple defects due to both the underlying disease and its treatment.

Lung biopsy in immunocompromised hosts
The American Journal of Medicine, 1975Ninety-five lung biopsy procedures in 78 immunocompromised patients yielded treatable diagnoses in 35 per cent of the needle aspirates, 46 per cent of the cutting needle biopsies and 65 per cent of the open thoracotomies. Complication rates of bleeding or pneumothorax were comparable to those previously described in nonimmunocompromised patients.

Musculoskeletal Infections in Immunocompromised Hosts
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1991Infection of the skeletal system in immunocompromised hosts is a legitimate concern. Indolent presentations and unusual pathogens are more common among impaired hosts. Delays in diagnosis may lead to joint destruction and disability. Accurate diagnosis requires specific requests for the microbiology laboratory to plate specimens onto fungal ...

Antimicrobial Stewardship in Immunocompromised Hosts
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2014The global spread of antimicrobial resistance has limited the availability of antimicrobial agents to treat infections that affect immunocompromised hosts. Efforts to optimize the selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial therapy to improve patient outcomes and minimize selective pressure on antimicrobial resistance are relevant to ...

Vaccination of the immunocompromised host
Wiener Medizinische Wochenschrift, 2004Vaccinations are safe and effective in immunocompromised patients. Apparently most vaccines in this patient population are underutilized. General vaccination recommendations are expressed for influenza, diphtheria and tetanus. Pneumococcal, meningococcal und Haemophilus influenzae B immunizations are specially indicated for patients with or developing ...
