Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) is a member of the Enterobacteriaceae family, it is an opportunistic pathogen that affects immunosuppressed individuals. K1 and K2 strains are hyper mucous that is considered an hypervirulent factor. We report a case of a female patient who developed a hepatic abscess, bacteremia and meningoencephalitis due to an hypervirulent Kp strain requiring mechanical ventilation, vasopressors, antibiotic treatment and percutaneous drainage of the liver abscess in the intensive care unit at Hospital Cayetano Heredia. The patient survived and was discharge from the hospital. This case illustrates the presence of an hypervirulent Kp strain in Peru.
