Hypervirulent (hvKp) causes invasive infections in the community setting. We report a rare case of uterine abscess due to hvKp, which appeared as a large-sized ovarian tumor-like pelvic mass. A timely laboratory warning of possible hvKp prompted correct diagnosis and helped guide perioperative decision making, contributing to successful treatment.
高毒力肺炎克雷伯菌（hvKp）可在社区环境中引起侵袭性感染。我们报告了一例罕见的因hvKp导致的子宫脓肿病例，该脓肿表现为巨大的卵巢肿瘤样盆腔肿物。及时的实验室发出的关于可能为hvKp的警示促使了正确诊断，并有助于指导围手术期决策，从而促成了成功治疗。
