ABSTRACT

Los abscesos esplénicos son una entidad clínica infrecuente en la práctica clínica, encontrándose mayormente en pacientes inmunocomprometidos. Presentamos el caso de un hombre de 81 años que ingresó en el hospital por fiebre, dolor abdominal e ictericia. La ecografía abdominal y la tomografía computerizada demostraron abscesos esplénicos múltiples. La esplenectomíay los antibióticos fueron un tratamiento efectivo. El drenaje percutáneo como alternativa podría ser apropiado solamente en pacientes seleccionados, con el objeto de preservar la función esplénica.


Multiple splenic abscesses is a rare condition in the clinical practice encountered mostly in immunocompromised patients. We report the case of a 81 year old male admitted to the hospital for fever, abdominal pain and jaundice. An abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography demonstrated multiple splenic abscesses. The splenectomy and antibiotics were a very effective therapy. The percutaneous drainage as an alternative may be appropriate only in selected patients, in order to preserve splenic function.
