Splenic abscesses are uncommon infections. In untreated cases, the mortality rate is very high. A 17-year old female patient was admitted to the hospital because of fever, weakness and pain in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography showed multiple abscess formations in spleen. Streptococcus intermedius was isolated from blood and abscess cultures. The patient was successfully treated with percutaneous drainage and appropriate antimicrobials.
