Intracardiac Thrombus in Community-Acquired Klebsiella pneumonia – An Unprecedented Complication

Abstract

Left ventricular thrombi commonly occur in the presence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Their occurrence in the presence of preserved left ventricular systolic function is extremely rare. Here we present a case of a diabetic lady with community acquired Klebsiella pneumonia who also had large intraventricular thrombi which were managed conservatively.
