Splenic abscess as a possible sequela of COVID-19: a case series.
Splenic abscess is an aggressive disease with a non-specific etiology and symptoms that are systemically detrimental. During the current COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a noted rise in the incidence of splenic abscesses. The aim of this article was to explore whether infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus increases the risk of developing splenic abscesses. We reviewed three cases with SARS-CoV-2 infection who developed splenic abscess. The clinical characteristics, treatment course, management and outcome are reported. We perceived that hypercoagulability status, superimposing infections and immunosuppression were related to SARS-CoV-2 infection. These were common factors in these three observed cases of splenic abscess as a complication related to the new viral pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 infection might be a risk factor in development of splenic abscess. SIMILAR CASES PUBLISHED: To the best of our knowledge only one case similar to our case series was published.
