Article: Multiple Splenic Abscess in an Immunocompetent Child: A rare case Report
Abstract:
Enteric fever is one of the most common bacterial infections found in developing countries. Splenic abscess is a rare and unrecognized but fatal complication of enteric fever in children. This is usually solitary rather than multiple and can be dangerous if untreated. Here, we report a case of splenic abscess in an adolescent girl who was successfully managed with antibiotics and percutaneous drainage of pus from the splenic parenchyma.
