Splenic abscess in patients on hemodialysis.
1990
We describe two patients on hemodialysis who developed staphylococcal splenic abscesses. Both patients previously had staphylococcal septicemia secondary to infection at the dialysis access site. We postulate that access-site infections may predispose hemodialysis patients to splenic abscess, and that these patients should be investigated for a splenic abscess if they should develop unexplained fever.
