The history revealed no other YAP-TEAD Inhibitor 1 nmr remarkable features. The examination revealed a palpable spleen. The investigations were normal as per previous case except for ESR >100 mmHg and CRP >200 mg/L. Ultrasound abdomen revealed splenomegaly with irregular hypoechoic regions and CECT of the abdomen confirmed multiple splenic abcesses. Blood cultures

grew Burkholderia pseudomallei. Blood picture was suggestive of bacterial sepsis and fever responded to IV meropenem. Conclusion: In patients with PUO and splenic abscesses in endemic areas, melioidosis should be entertained as a possible differential diagnosis. Key Word(s): 1.

There are many causes resulting in a haemoperitoneum such as blunt or penentrating trauma

to the abdomen, tumour-associated haemorrhage or in blood dyscrasias. Splenic infarctions as a cause of frank hemoperitoneum has not been documented before, to the best of our knowledge. Methods: Case notes of a 54 year old adult Sri Lankan male, CP-673451 nmr who had been diagnosed to have chronic alcoholic cirrhosis, portal hypertension and bronchial Tyrosine-protein kinase BLK asthma, admitted with an acute abdomen and a hypotensive

state were retrospectively analysed. Examination had revealed presence of free fluid with mild tenderness and guarding of the abdomen. His previous abdominal scan revealed no ascites. Results: The investigations revealed the following: On the FBC, Hb was 11.5 g/dl, while other indices and cell lines were normal. CRP was 23 mg/L and the other biochemical and hematological investigations were unremarkable. Ultrasound abdomen showed free fluid. Peritoneal tap was blood stained with a Hb of 11.5 g/dl. Cells were obscured by blood. Clotting screen was normal. The first contrast CT scan abdomen was inconclusive and showed old findings of liver disease and the second paracentesis was dry. Second contrast CT abdomen done the following day revealed a peripheral splenic infarction. The patient had an uneventful recovery. Conclusion: Peripheral splenic infarction should be entertained as a cause for frank hemoperitoneum. Key Word(s): 1. Hemoperitoneum; 2.
