Abstract

We present a unique case of remitting and relapsing splenic abscesses in an otherwise healthy young individual over a 13-year period. Because of the rare nature of this disease, unique challenges to the diagnosis and workup existed. Our case also raises concern that in rare cases, organisms can form a nidus leading to either a protracted or relapsing course.
