Abstract
Introduction: Recently, there is an upsurge of splenic abscess due to typhoidal Salmonella in India.
Methods: We present a case of splenic abscess caused by Salmonella paratyphi A in an immunocompetent male and conducted a systematic review of splenic abscess cases attributed to typhoidal Salmonella described between January 2001 and May 2024.
Results: Of 33 cases reviewed, 26, 2, and 1 case each were reported from India, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Qatar, and Pakistan, respectively. S. typhi and S. paratyphi A were reported from 29 and 4 cases, respectively. Mean age was 21 years, with 13 children and 8 females. About 28 were immunocompetent and two had diabetes mellitus. Blood, pus, stool, and pleural fluid grew the isolate in 13, 20, 1, and 1 case, respectively. Ultrasonography (USG) abdomen was diagnostic in 28 cases and normal in two cases. Computed tomography (CT) abdomen was diagnostic in all the 27 cases tested. About 17, 12, and 1 patient showed multiple abscesses, solitary lesion, and multiloculated lesion, respectively. USG/CT-guided percutaneous drainage and splenectomy were performed in 25 and 7 cases, respectively. All 33 patients recovered from the infection.
Conclusion: We aspire to raise acquaintance among health professionals regarding this uncommon entity and foresee it in pertinent contexts.
