Abstract
A recent case of posttraumatic splenic abscess in an HIV-positive intravenous drug abuser following a splenic salvage procedure is reported. With the recent trend toward splenic preservation and the ever-increasing population of HIV-positive, immune-compromised patients, the complication of splenic abscess may become more common.Keywords
