    From the Department of Internal Medicine, Hospital Costa del Sol. Marbella (Málaga). Spain.

    The case of a woman with splenic abscess due to Brucella is reported. There was no response with antibiotics and surgical treatment was required. On the basis of this case and the literature review we consider that surgical treatment must be considered in patients with splenic abscess due to Brucella infection.
