Based on literature data the authors demonstrate the complexity of differential diagnosis of pleural effusion syndrome (PES). At the same time they emphasize the quantitative increase in patients with splenic abscess (SA). The authors give the observation of SA, which is complicated by purulent pleurisy and pleural effusion syndrome. They accentuate erroneous diagnostic actions.
