“…Mortality due to blastomycosis, even with aggressive antifungal therapy, approaches 40% in this group. 1533 Other groups of patients, including long-term glucocorticosteroid recipients, 46 solid organ transplant recipients, 43 patients with hematologic malignancies, 46 pregnant women, 47 and other immunocompromised patients appear to have better overall outcomes compared to patients with AIDS, but diffuse pulmonary involvement (22%), multiple visceral organ involvement (over 20%), and death (over 30%) are much more common than in the nonimmunocompromised host. 151833 Early diagnosis and aggressive initial therapy are essential for a good outcome among these patients.…”

“…Furthermore, many pneumonia survivors may acquire bacterial infections after their original pneumonia infection. Brain abscess, psoas muscle abscess, para-aortic arch abscess, thyroid abscess, splenic abscess, and infraorbital abscess have been reported after pneumonia [14–19]. Bacteremic pneumonia is considered a potential cause of distal organ abscess formation.…”

BackgroundBacteremic pneumonia is considered a potential cause of distal organ abscess formation. Therefore, we hypothesize that pneumonia is a risk factor for pyogenic liver abscess (PLA).The aim of this study is to explore the association between pneumonia and PLA.Methodology/Principal findingsA nationwide, population-based, nested, case–control study was conducted using data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. In total, 494 patients with PLA and 1,976 propensity score matched controls were enrolled. Conditional logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios (aORs) in patients with exposure to pneumonia before PLA. After matched and adjusted for confounding factors including age, sex, urbanization, income, chronic liver disease, alcohol-related disease, biliary stone, chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, chronic liver disease, and cancer, hospitalization for pneumonia remained an independent risk factor for PLA with an aORs of 2.104 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.309–3.379, p = 0.0021]. Moreover, the aORs were significantly higher among patients hospitalized for pneumonia within 30 days (aORs = 10.73, 95% CI = 3.381–34.054), 30–90 days (aORs = 4.698, 95% CI = 1.541–14.327) and 90–180 (aORs = 4.000, 95% CI = 1.158–13.817) days before PLA diagnosis.ConclusionPneumonia is an independent risk factor for subsequent PLA. Moreover, hospitalization for pneumonia within 180 days before PLA diagnosis was associated with an increased risk of PLA.
