  • Title: Splenic abscess--case report and review of literature.
    Author: Sinha S, Sharma DC, Miri B, Gupta V, Chattopadhyay TK.
    Journal: Trop Gastroenterol; 1997; 18(3):134-5. PubMed ID: 9385863.
    Abstract:
    Isolated splenic abscess is a rarity and remains a diagnostic dilemma. The presentation is nonspecific and diagnosis is often delayed. We present a case which had roentgenographic signs suggestive of splenic suppuration at admission. Of particular interest was the isolation of Salmonella paratyphi in this patient. Antibiotic therapy alone is insufficient and splenectomy remains the treatment of choice. The literature on splenic abscess is briefly reviewed.
