Tuberculosis (TB) of the spleen is an extremely rare clinical entity particularly among immunocompetent persons. We report a case of isolated tuberculous abscess of spleen in a 13- years- old boy. No primary focus of infection was detected in lungs or any other organ. The patient was treated by splenectomy after a therapeutic failure with standard antituberculous medication.
脾结核是一种极其罕见的临床病症,尤其在免疫功能正常者中更为少见。我们报告了一例 13 岁男孩孤立性脾结核脓肿。未在肺部或其他任何器官中发现原发性感染灶。患者在标准抗结核药物治疗失败后接受了脾切除术。
