We report the case of an elderly woman with splenic abscess caused by <jats:italic>S. anginosus<\/jats:italic> bacteremia after urinary tract infection. An 82-year-old woman had a history of frequency of urination, urgency, and fever with chills for over 10 days prior to admission. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan performed in the emergency room revealed a low-density lesion in the spleen, kidney cysts, some exudation around the kidney, and cystitis should be valued. She was treated with ceftriaxone and imipenem\/cilastatin. After admission, the blood culture yielded positive results for <jats:italic>S. anginosus<\/jats:italic>. A contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scan showed that the low-density lesion previously found in the spleen was smaller than before. After percutaneous drainage of the splenic abscess and treatment with piperacillin\/tazobactam based on the antibiotic sensitivity pattern, repeated abdominal CT scan revealed a significant reduction in the low-density lesion. The patient was discharged without recurrence or complications. A systematic review of organ abscess caused by <jats:italic>S. anginosus<\/jats:italic> bacteremia was performed. To our knowledge, there has been no report of splenic abscess caused by <jats:italic>S. anginosus<\/jats:italic> bacteremia secondary to urinary system tract infection, although urinary tract infections are also an important source.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/med-2020-0117","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,13]],"date-time":"2020-10-13T19:49:04Z","timestamp":1602618544000},"page":"997-1002","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Splenic abscess caused by <i>Streptococcus anginosus<\/i> bacteremia secondary to urinary tract infection: a case report and literature review"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Hao","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University , No. 36, Sanhao Street, Heping District , Shenyang , Liaoning 110004 , China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University , No. 36, Sanhao Street, Heping District , Shenyang , Liaoning 110004 , China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022052423154231351_j_med-2020-0117_ref_001_w2aab3b7d828b1b6b1ab2b2b1Aa","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Dielubanza EJ, Schaeffer AJ.
