Splenic abscess in typhoid fever]
La Clinica terapeutica(1991)
Abstract
We report the case of a young patient with typhoid fever who complained of pain in his left hypochondrium and shoulder and recrudescence of fever after 21 days of treatment with tiamphenicol and ampicilline. Ultrasonography lead to the diagnosis of splenic abscess; the patient was splenectomized and S. typhi was cultured from the pus. Splenic abscess was frequently observed before 1940; since then only 6 more cases are reported in literature.
