Περίληψη:
Splenic abscesses are rare among abdominal abscesses. We present a case
of splenic abscess due to Staphylococcus aureus in a beta-thalassemia
major patient. Such a complication may not be coincidental, as
beta-thalassemia major patients have an increased susceptibility to
infection, which is attributable to a number of immune abnormalities.
