ABSTRACT
Splenic abscess is an uncommon entity in children, more so of tubercular etiology in immunocompetent patients. The few cases reported have usually revealed solitary abscesses in the spleen. We present a case of a 12 year-old immunocompetent girl who presented with fever and pain abdomen and was detected to have multiple tubercular abscesses in the spleen in the absence of any other focus of tuberculosis.
