Manuel Casanova-Roman¹, Javier Casas, Antonio Sanchez-Porto, Belen Nacle.

Abstract

Spontaneous rupture of the spleen associated with Legionella pneumonia is a rare and life-threatening complication; only three cases have been reported to date. The authors describe a case of a 47-year-old man who presented with pneumonia and abdominal pain. He underwent a splenectomy, and was successfully treated with clarithromycin and levofloxacin.
