Splenic abscesses are rare and difficult to diagnose. This case series highlights diagnostic challenges and Salmonella typhimurium as a causative agent, emphasizing the need for thorough evaluation in patients with predisposing factors.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Splenic abscess is an uncommon condition often presenting diagnostic challenges.
  • Predisposing factors can increase the risk of splenic abscess development.

Observation:

  • Two cases of splenic abscess are presented.
  • Patients exhibited clinical and roentgenographic signs suggestive but nonspecific for splenic suppuration.
  • Salmonella typhimurium was isolated in one patient.

Findings:

  • The study highlights the diagnostic difficulties associated with splenic abscess.
  • The isolation of Salmonella typhimurium underscores the diverse etiology of splenic abscesses.

Implications:
