Splenic abscess is an uncommon entity, reported in 0.14% to 0.70% of several autopsy series. Untreated, the mortality approaches 100%.1 When the diagnosis is made preopenatively and treated by antibiotics and splenectomy, there is a 17% mortality, but preoperative diagnosis was made only in 33% of the cases in one review.2 High degree of clinical awareness and aggressive diagnostic approach are essential for early diagnosis. percutaneous drainage of splenic abscess has been demonstrated to be a safe and effective method of treatment in adults in eight cases,3-5 without mortality or significant complications. We present the first pediatric age patient who was successfully treated by percutaneous drainage.

AbstractThis study presented a septic shock occurring with striking speed during the percutaneous drainage of a large abscess of the liver in an 18-year-old female patient after an appendectomy performed 3 months earlier using the laparoscopic method because of its phlegmonous and gangraenosus inflammation. The post-operative course was complicated by increased suppuration in places after removal of the trocars. After including the intravenous antibiotic therapy and under the USG control, the percutaneous drainage of the abscess was performed. While withdrawing the guide of the drainage catheter set, the symptoms of septic shock occurred. The pharmacological treatment was applied with continuation of the antibiotic therapy till a negative result of microbiological tests was obtained and the normalization of life parameters. The patient was not qualified for treatment in the ICU. She was discharged in a generally good condition after 24 days of hospitalization. In the case of this patient, the drain covered with the content of the abscess may have contact with the adjacent tiny blood vessels, which may have contributed to the systemic inflammatory response syndrome that was linked with fast-developing sceptic shock.

Open Splenectomy

Splenic abscess is a rare entity, however if unrecognised or left untreated, it is invariably fatal. We herein report a case of splenic abscess in a 40-year-old man presenting with fever, left-sided abdominal pain, altered sensorium and vomiting. On clinical examination, hepatosplenomegaly was noted and the ultrasound of the abdomen showed multiple hypoechoic regions in the upper pole of spleen, and the diagnosis of splenic abscess was made. The patient received antimicrobial therapy and underwent an open splenectomy with full recovery. Pus aspirated from the splenic abscess grew an unusual organism named Parabacteroides distasonis. In the literature, there are only a few recorded cases of P. distasonis causing splenic abscess. Through this case report, we would like to emphasise the pathogenic role of P. distasonis in causing clinical disease, as this organism is typically known to constitute a part of the normal flora.
