The cause of persistent fever in a case of meningoencephalitis: infected splenic cyst

Abstract

In this paper, we reported a 15 years old case of acute meningoencephalitis who had persistent fever despite improvement in other clinical and cerebrospinal fluid findings with treatment. In the investigation of fever etiology, abdominal ultrasonography revealed splenic cysts of varying sizes. After percutaneous drainage of the largest cyst, fever decreased dramatically, so it was concluded that the infected splenic cyst was the cause of the persistent fever. Splenic cysts are rare in childhood which are often asymptomatic and detected accidentally. In this case report, the symptoms and treatment modalities of splenic cysts were reviewed.
