Splenic abscess due to acute brucellosis
Özet
Splenic abscess due to acute brucellosis is a rare event. We report a case of splenic abscess caused by Brucella spp. in a 21-year-old man. The MRI revealed sharply demarcated lesions measuring 20 and 30 mm in diameter at the superior pole of spleen. Positive Wright agglutination test and positive blood culture confirmed the diagnosis. Antibiotic therapy, without surgical intervention, was successful. Copyright 2013 BMJ Publishing Group. All rights reserved.
