A case of community acquired pneumonia due to <I>Klebsiella pneumoniae</I> (<I>K. pneumoniae</I>) associated with bacteremia and giant cavity on chest roentgenogram was reported.<BR>A 52-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with complaints of fever, hemosputum, cough, and malaise. He had a history of heavy drinking and smoking, malnutrition due to irregular dietary habit, and diabetes mellitus. Chest roentgenogram on admission revealed a diffuse infiltration shadow in the left lung, and <I>K. pneumoniae</I> was isolated by TTA and blood culture. During the clinical course, a giant cavity with niveau was seen in the middle field of left lung on chest roentgenogram. <I>K. pneumoniae</I> was also isolated from the fluid obtained by puncture of the lung abscess, and the patient followed a satisfactory course by antibiotic therapy.<BR>In recent years, K. pneumoniae pneumonia has been noted as one of the nosocomial infections. On the other hand, the present case was thought to be a classic one of K. pneumoniae pneumonia characterized by cavity formation occurring in middle aged heavy drinkers.
