Abstract

Splenic abscesses are rare pathologic conditions in which Actinomyces and Campylobacter species are rarely isolated. We present a 79-year-old female with multiple splenic abscesses from unknown sources with both Actinomyces species and Campylobacter rectus being isolated. She was initially treated conservatively with percutaneous drainage but eventually needed splenectomy. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of Campylobacter rectus isolated from a splenic abscess.
