Splenic abscess is an unusual condition, most often seen in immunocompromised patients. Splenic abscesses are due to aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, fungi and parasites, Staphylococcus aureus being the most common aetiological agent. We describe a case of splenic abscess in an alcoholic patient due to Staphylococcus lentus, a rare aetiology included in the microbiology of this disease.

A 60-year-old healthy woman presented with fever, abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. After initial conservative therapy, enterectomy was performed because of perforation of the jejunum. Histological analysis and high titer of anti-CMV IgM confirmed the diagnosis. A 2-year follow-up was uneventful. CMV enterocolitis is frequent in immunocompromised patients, but rare in immunocompetent subjects.
