Abstract
Abstract Splenic abscess in the setting of salmonella infection is a rare entity, which has been reported during the course of typhoid fever. We describe the presentation of a healthy 11 year-old boy who had abdominal pain, incidental finding of splenic cyst and who developed Salmonella enteritidis gastroenteritis and splenic abscess shortly following laparoscopic removal of the splenic cyst. We review 11 additional cases of nontyphoidal salmonellae splenic abscesses in pediatric patients.
