    Early splenectomy is crucial for bacterial endocarditis patients with splenic infarction and abscess. Prompt diagnosis via imaging and surgical intervention can prevent life-threatening complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Surgical Pathology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Bacterial endocarditis can lead to splenic complications, including infarction and abscess formation.
    • Splenic infarction and abscesses in endocarditis patients present diagnostic challenges.
    • Splenic rupture is a known, high-mortality complication of splenic infarction.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of splenic infarction with abscess formation during bacterial endocarditis are presented.
    • Clinical abdominal signs were present in all cases; one had persistent positive hemocultures.
    • Computed tomography (CAT) scanning was instrumental in diagnosing splenic lesions in these patients.

    Findings:

    • Ultrasonography and abdominal CAT scanning are highly sensitive for detecting splenic lesions.

  • Early splenectomy is indicated for splenic infarction complicated by abscess, especially with clinical signs of infection.
  • Splenectomy is recommended concurrently with valve replacement in such cases to prevent prosthesis infection.

    • Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and surgical management of splenic complications in endocarditis are vital.
    • Splenectomy can mitigate the high mortality associated with splenic rupture.
    • This approach may improve outcomes for patients with complex endocarditis presentations.
