  • Title: Splenic abscess due to brucella in childhood. A case report.
    Author: Seçmeer G, Ecevit Z, Gülbulak B, Ceyhan M, Kanra G, Anlar Y.
    Journal: Turk J Pediatr; 1995; 37(4):403-6. PubMed ID: 8560609.
    Abstract:
    An eleven-year-old male was diagnosed with multiple splenic abscesses due to brucella. He was treated only with antibiotics. Although splenic abscess is very rare in childhood, in febrile patients with upper quadrant abdominal pain, tenderness and splenomegaly, splenic abscess should be suspected especially in epidemic regions. Diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasonography and computerized tomography.
