    Abstract:
    Splenic tuberculosis is a rare entity. The case of an 18-year old patient admitted for fever and general malice is described. Echography and abdominal CT showed a hypodense image localized in the spleen. Splenic tuberculosis was diagnosed upon observation of alcohol acid resistant bacilli (AARB) in the biopsy obtained by punction of the abscess. Correct tuberculostatic treatment led to disappearance of the splenic abscess with no further therapeutic measures being required.
