  • Online:2013-07-20 Published:2013-07-20

Abstract: In patients with diabetes, glucose fluctuations, insulin resistance, poor circulation, and likely immune damage can
easily lead to infections. Splenic abscess is rare in diabetic patients and is associated with a high mortality rate. Type 2 diabetes
causes increased risks of splenic abscess, and timely and effective treatment can lower the mortality rate. We report here a case
of type 2 diabetes complicated by multiple splenic abscesses.
