title: [Liver abscesses due to Klebsiella pneumoniae and acute anterior uveitis].
abstract: Liver abscesses are not very frequent and those produced by Klebsiella spp. are quite exceptional. These germs have been related to the development of acute anterior uveitis (AAU) in patients whose susceptibility has been linked to HLA B27. We present a case of a female, HLA B27 negative, who developed AAU during a course of liver abscesses caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae.
