摘要：

This paper reviews four cases of splenic abscess in children. All of them had sickle-cell disease and were treated by splenectomy covered by a course of antibiotics and pneumovax and made a rapid recovery. Of particular interest was the isolation of salmonella in two of our patients. Splenic abscess is a not uncommon complication of sickle-cell disease, and physicians caring for these children must be aware of this complication, its mode of presentation, and alternate forms of management.
