Abstract

Abstract: Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) is recognized as a lifethreatening community‐acquired infection associated with pyogenic liver abscess. However, rhabdomyolysis secondary to hvKP infection is rare. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first case of rhabdomyolysis due to hvKP infection in a patient who survived septic shock syndrome. Abstract : Longer duration of PMX‐DHP improves hemodynamics and decreases vasopressors rapidly compared to the conventional duration. Additionally, it encourages clinicians to suspect other causes of rhabdomyolysis.
