Splenic abscesses are caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus and bacteria belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae. We report a case of splenic abscess caused by an unusual serotype of Salmonella. A 55 year old man was admitted with complaints of fever and abdominal pain. On the basis of clinical findings and laboratory reports, a diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukemia was made. Ultrasonography of the abdomen revealed a single large cystic lesion in the spleen. Percutaneous drainage of the abscess was carried out. Salmonella enterica serotype Worthington was isolated from a pus sample taken from the abscess. The isolate was resistant to ampicillin, gentamicin, cefotaxime, chloramphenicol and tetracycline, and sensitive to amikacin and norfloxacin. Serotype Worthington is an emerging pathogen. This is the first report of isolation of this serotype from a splenic abscess. In seriously ill patients, such infections should be treated with a combination of antibiotics to circumvent problems with multidrug resistance.
The nematode Lagochilascaris minor was collected from subcutaneous abscesses on the face and neck of three female cats aged 8 months, and 1 and 2 years. These cats were born in the Department of Maldonado, Uruguay. Female and male nematodes were 10.1-14.4 and 10.0-14.3mm long, respectively. The lips were one dorsal lip and two subventral lips separated from the body by a deep post-labial groove, and were separated from each other by triangular interlabial projections. The width of the lips was almost equal to the width of the post-labial collar. The vulva was near the middle of the female body. The eggs were oval or spherical and measured 0.059-0.073 mm long and 0.045-0.065 mm wide. Irregular-shaped pits were on the egg surface; 20-32 pits were around the equator of the eggs. The male posterior region was ventrally curved. Each spicule was about three quarters of the ejaculator duct length. From these findings, the nematodes were identified as L. minor. We believe this is the first report of its infection in Uruguay.
