Abstract

An 83-year-old female patient visited the emergency department for abdominal pain and dyspnea with hemodynamic instability. Abdominal computed tomography showed multiple liver abscesses and a large volume of pericardial effusion. A transthoracic echocardiography revealed features suggestive of cardiac tamponade, including massive pericardial effusion and diastolic collapse of the right atrial wall. Emergency percutaneous pericardial drainage and percutaneous transhepatic drainage were performed. Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) was isolated from both the pericardial effusion and bile. The first case of cardiac tamponade secondary to a liver abscess in Korea was reported in 1981, and it was caused by amoebal infection via fistula formation between the pericardium and abscess. We recently experienced a case of pyogenic liver abscess caused by KP complicating cardiac tamponade via direct invasion. This is an unusual complication of KP infection because KP is more frequently associated with hematogenous spread.

83세 여자 환자가 발열과 복부 통증 심한 호흡곤란을 주소로 내원하였다. 불안정한 생체증후를 보였으며 심초음파 검사상 급성 심낭염과 심낭 압전 소견을 보여 심낭 천자 및 배액술을 시행하였고 탁한 화농성 심낭액이 배출되었다. 간농양과 급성 심낭 압전으로 입원하여서 대한 경피적 배액을 시행과 항생제 투여하면서 경과관찰하였다. 심낭 삼출액 배양 검사와 배양된 간농양에서 Klebsiella pneumonia가 동정되었다. 이후 3주간 항생제 투여하며 증세 호전되어 퇴원 후 현재 경과관찰 중이다. 화농성 심낭염과 심낭 삼출은 간농양의 드문 합병증으로 주로 농양과 심낭 사이에 누공이 존재한 경우나 아메바에 의한 경우가 드물게 보고되었으며 본 증례처럼 Klebsiella penumoniae에 의해 간농양이 선행되어서 진행된 급성 화농성 심낭염과 이로 인한 심낭 압전의 예는 보고된 적이 없다. 이에 본 저자들은 간농양이 선행되어서 발생한 Klebsiella pneumoniae에 의한 급성 화농성 심낭염과 심낭 압전을 경험하고 치료하였기에 이를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
