Resumen

GIL MANRIQUE, Lázaro Fidel et al. Amebic splenetic abscess. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2011, vol.50, n.4, pp.560-569. ISSN 0034-7493.

The extraintestinal location is a fearsome complication of the intestinal amebiasis, with a high mortality fluctuating between the 4 and the 14 % of cases diagnosed. The commonest presentation way is the amebic hepatic abscess and although others have reported pulmonary, peritoneal and up to cerebral locations, the splenetic one is extremely infrequent. A case of splenetic amebiasis is reported which evolved in a torpid way despite the specific treatment with metronidazole from its admission to Emergence Department and that was operated on at seventh day with a favorable evolution after spleen resection. Authors made a review of the updated literature on this subject.

Palabras clave : amebiasis; extraintestinal amebiasis; invasive amebiasis; splenetic amebiasis; amebic splenetic abscess.
