title: [Diagnosis and treatment of splenic abscess].
abstract: Eight patients with abscesses of the spleen were observed. The clinical picture had no special characteristics. Splenomegaly was not a pathognomonic symptom of the spleen abscess. The ultrasonic investigation and computed tomography were the main methods of diagnostics. The timely treatment of the spleen abscesses gives satisfactory results. The operation of choice is thought to be splenectomy.
