ABSTRACT
Abscesses of the spleen are rare and, if untreated, lead to death. The usual mode of development is by hematogenous spread of infection. Treatment options are splenectomy, percutaneous drainage and in selected cases an antibiotic therapy. We report a case of a splenic abscess due to Streptococcus bovis treated with antibiotics only.
