Abstract
The authors report a case of multiple and spleen pyogenic abscesses ca used by Peptostreptococcus spp., in a patient who recently underwent l aparotomy due to duodenal perforation. He was successfully treated by means of intensive and extended antibiotherapy.We would like to stress the importance of an early and etiological diagnosis performed by per cutaneous puncture and bacteriological study, in order to start a sele ctive antibiotherapy. Other therapeutical possibilities are discussed.
