title: [Spleen abscess].
abstract: 3 cases of splenic abscess (SA), all of them with similar clinical findings; abdominal pain, liver and splenic enlargement and leukocytosis, are presented. The diagnosis was suspected by abdominal ultrasound and confirmed by CTR. We focused the interest on the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and the rareness of the bacteria isolated: Salmonella group D (two cases) and Bacteroides Fragilis.
