Background/Purpose.
Splenic abscess is rare with potentially life-threatening evolution.
The aim of this study is to review the clinical features, microbiological etiologies, treatment, and outcomes of patients with splenic abscess.
Methods.
We reviewed the admitted patients with suspected splenic abscess and made the diagnosis of splenic abscess.
The clinical characteristics, underlying diseases, treatment course, organism spectra, abscess number and size, therapeutic methods, and clinical outcome at a tertiary medical center in Taiwan over a period of 5 years were analyzed.
Results.
Of 16 patients with splenic abscess, the male to female ratio was 1 : 1.
Common presentations were fever (11 patients, 68.7%), diffuse abdominal pain (6 patients, 37.5%), left upper quadrant pain or tenderness (6 patients, 37.5%), and left-sided pleural effusions (8 patients, 50%).
Antimicrobial therapy was administered in all patients.
Fourteen (87.5%) patients recovered under medical treatment.
One (6.2%) patient underwent splenectomy, four (25%) patients performed percutaneous drainage of their splenic abscess, and 11 (68.7%) patients received antimicrobial therapy alone.
Conclusion.
We noted that mortality may be more related to patients with underlying immunodeficiency.
Patients with splenic abscesses receiving antimicrobial therapy alone were in a relatively high proportion and got a good prognosis especially in patients with small and multiple abscesses.
