dc.description.abstract	Enteric Fever can present with various complications which include intestinal and extraintestinal. Splenic abcess is a rare extraintestinal complication accounting for only about 0.2 to 0.7 % cases. We report case of enteric fever who presented with history of generalised weakness and breathlessness since 15 days. On investigation it showed that patient is having massive left pyothorax with splenic rupture. This suggests that along with other complications, enteric fever can also be associated with pyothorax, which is often ignored during clinical practice.	en_US
