Introduction: Physicians who care for trauma patients should be aware of the possibility of a pulmonary embolism presenting immediately after traumatic injury. Case Report: We report a case of a 30yearold female restrained driver who developed a pulmonary embolism within two hours of a motor vehicle accident. Conclusion: We conclude that trauma can produce a hypercoagulable state that can occur immediately after a traumatic event and result in a pulmonary embolism.

Introduction. Klebsiella pneumoniae is a well-known cause of liver abscess. Higher rates of liver abscess associated with Klebsiella pneumoniae are seen in Taiwan. Metastatic endophthalmitis is a common complication associated with a poor prognosis despite aggressive therapy. Case Report. We report a case of a 67-year-old Korean female with Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess. The patient developed metastatic endophthalmitis and ultimately succumbed to her disease despite aggressive medical and surgical treatment. Conclusion. Dissemination of Klebsiella pneumoniae is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Liver abscesses preferably should be treated with percutaneous drainage, but surgical treatment is needed in some cases. Metastatic spread to the eye is a common complication that must be treated aggressively with intravenous antibiotics and surgical intervention if necessary.
