This study aimed to investigate the association between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), assessed by the Fatty Liver Index (FLI), and the occurrence of lung abscess within a large population-based cohort. We conducted a nationwide retrospective study using data from 367,930 subjects who underwent National Health check-ups between 2009 and 2018. Cox proportional hazards regression was performed to evaluate the association between the FLI and the incidence of lung abscess and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) after adjusting for age, sex, and relevant covariates.

Background: A liver abscess caused by hypervirulent can lead to multiple invasive extrahepatic infections, including lung abscesses, endophthalmitis, brain abscesses, and necrotizing fasciitis. This condition, known as liver abscess invasion syndrome, progresses rapidly and is associated with severe illness, high disability rates, and significant mortality. However, bloodstream infections with co-infection involving carbapenem-resistant are exceedingly rare.

Purpose: This study aims to explore the underlying causes, diagnostic strategies, and treatment approaches of trauma-induced invasive syndrome (KPIS) through a rare case report. By highlighting the role of trauma as a potential trigger for KPIS, particularly in high-risk populations such as individuals with diabetes, this study seeks to provide valuable insights for improving clinical outcomes and promoting public health awareness.
Background: invasive syndrome is a multi-organ infectious disease commonly associated with complications such as liver abscess, lung abscess, endophthalmitis, and purulent meningitis, with high mortality and disability rates.
