  • Title: Splenic abscess caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis.
    Author: Walker GT, McRoyan DK, Luterman A, Dowling EA, Curreri PW.
    Journal: South Med J; 1986 Jun; 79(6):773-6. PubMed ID: 3715545.
    Abstract:
    We have reported a case of fungal splenic abscess caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis. Splenic abscess is an uncommon disorder, and fungus as the causative organism is rare. The diagnosis of splenic abscess can be rapidly made with radionuclide and CT scanning and ultrasonography. Splenectomy with appropriate antifungal chemotherapy is the currently recommended therapy.
