Abstract
Although most Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscesses have been reported to be monomicrobial, clinical outcomes
have not been compared between antimicrobial therapy with and without anti-anaerobic coverage. A propensity
score–matched cohort study was conducted using the 731 cases of K. pneumoniae liver abscess. Clinical outcomes
were compared between a group discontinuing anti-anaerobic agents after K. pneumoniae identification and a
group continuing. A total of 170 cases were matched at a 1:1 ratio using their propensity to discontinue antianaerobic
agents. The McNemar's test showed no difference in mortality rates (1.8% for discontinuation versus
2.3% for continuation; P =1.00) or relapse (1.8% versus 2.9%; P= 0.73) between groups. Early discontinuation of
anti-anaerobic agents had no association with treatment failure by means of the generalized estimating equation
model (odds ratio 0.48; P=0.14) and the Kaplan–Meier method (P=0.85) in matched groups. Early discontinuation
of anti-anaerobic agents does not affect the clinical outcomes of patients with K. pneumoniae liver abscess.
