Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection represent a risk group for developing spleen abscesses. The paper presents a short review and case illustration, describing the characteristics and underling treatment of HIV-infected patients with infectious comorbidities. There are few reports in literature of multiple spleen abscesses with double, microbial and fungal etiology in HIV-infected patients. A 35 years old male patient was referred to the Infectious Diseases Clinic with prolonged fever. In the last 2 years he had worked as a waiter and had multiple unprotected sexual contacts. The physical examination showed: fever, tongue and pharynx with Candida albicans deposits, enlarged cervical, submandibular, axillar, inguinal lymph nodes and splenomegaly. Biological tests including HIV antibodies (Ab) ELISA, CD4, HIV Western blot test, cultures and paraclinical investigations-abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography were performed. There was a significant inflammatory response, HIV Ab were positive, CD4 cells=17/L and Western blot HIV test was positive. Abdominal ultrasonography showed: splenomegaly with 3 hypoechogenic round images (13-17mm) at the superior pole, in the hilum and inferior pole. HIV infection stage C3 with oropharyngeal candidiasis and multiple splenic abscesses were diagnosed. After 6 weeks of antibiotic and antifungal therapy total splenectomy was performed. The cultures from splenic abscess contents revealed Acinetobacter baumannii and Cryptococcus neoformans. Under appropriate antibiotic and antifungal treatment, the postoperatory evolution was favorable.
