Splenic abscess is a rare infectious disease with a high mortality rate. Diagnosis of splenic abscess also faces many disadvantages due to atypical clinical symptoms, mainly based on imaging methods. There are many treatments for splenic abscesses, depending on the severity of the disease and individual patient response.

The spleen is an organ located just below your rib cage on the left side. There are many causes such as infections, liver disease, and some cancers that can cause an enlarged spleen, also known as hypersplenism. Hypersplenism often does not cause symptoms and is only discovered accidentally during a routine health check-up or due to another disease. Therefore, to treat hypersplenism, doctors need to focus on treating the disease that leads to this hypersplenism symptom.

Mononucleosis is not dangerous but can cause serious complications if left untreated. Therefore, even if the child only has flu-like symptoms such as sore throat and fever, the family should take the child to see a doctor.

Not only is the spleen part of the immune system, it also plays a role in creating antibodies against bacteria and viruses that attack the body. An enlarged spleen is a sign that the body is infected. The disease often has no obvious symptoms, making it difficult to diagnose.

The spleen is located just below the left rib cage and helps the body fight infections and filter old blood cells in the blood. Although it is surrounded by a tough shell and located quite deep in the abdomen, the rate of spleen rupture due to trauma ranks first among abdominal injuries, with sports accidents, punches to the abdomen, and traffic accidents being the most common causes.
