Brucelloma; a case with hepatosplenic nodules Resolved with antibiotherapy

Abstract

Liver and spleen involvement are a common finding in the course of brucellosis; however, only one pediatric case with hepatosplenic and two pediatric cases with splenic abscess formation have been reported in the literature. Splenic abscess respond to treatment with anti-biotherapy but hepatosplenic abscess need surgical drainage as well. We present a case of a fourteen-year-old girl, with both hepatic and splenic nodule formation, and was cured with just anti-biotherapy. To our knowledge, this was the first pediatric case with hepatosplenic nodule to be cured with just combination anti-biotherapy.Pam Med J 2014;7(3):226-228
