| Abstract (English): | Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess syndrome due to hypermucoviscous strains is defined by the presence of monomicrobial liver abscess, without biliary tree or colorectal disease. These strains may be easily identified in the laboratory by performing a string test. It has the potential to spread to other organs, leading to a high morbimortality. We report two cases of liver abscess due to naturally susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae, one of them with en dogenous endophthalmitis as metastatic involvement that required evisceration.

| Abstract (Spanish): | El síndrome de absceso hepático por Klebsiella pneu moniae con fenotipo hipermucoviscoso, es una enferme dad caracterizada por la presencia de abscesos hepáticos monomicrobianos en ausencia de enfermedad biliar o colorrectal subyacente. Esta cepa puede identificarse en el laboratorio a través del string test. Se caracteriza por la potencialidad de diseminar y comprometer órganos a distancia, asociando importante morbimortalidad. Presentamos dos casos de abscesos hepáticos por Klebsiella pneumoniae multisensible, uno de ellos con endoftalmitis endógena como complicación a distancia, con requerimiento de evisceración del globo ocular.
