Abstract:
Enteric Fever can present with various complications which include intestinal and extraintestinal. Splenic
abcess is a rare extraintestinal complication accounting for only about 0.2 to 0.7 % cases. We report case of
enteric fever who presented with history of generalised weakness and breathlessness since 15 days. On
investigation it showed that patient is having massive left pyothorax with splenic rupture. This suggests that
along with other complications, enteric fever can also be associated with pyothorax, which is often ignored
during clinical practice.
