Klebsiella can cause pneumonia, meningitis, and infections in bloodstreams, wounds and surgical sites, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
According to a spokesperson with Public Health - Seattle & King County, the agency was notified by Virginia Mason officials that four patients have died since the infections were first identified.
That means someone can have the bacteria in their system for months without showing any symptoms, making it incredibly difficult to identify where and when someone may have been infected. Virginia Mason Medical Center first detected an increase of Klebsiella pneumonia bacteria at its downtown campus in October 2022, according to VMMC Interim President Sydney Bersante.
