[Ultrasonically-guided percutaneous puncture and drainage of a splenic abscess caused by Salmonella heidelberg in a child].

In a boy aged 9 years and 11 months pain developed in the left upper abdomen following Salmonella enteritis infection. Purulent splenitis was diagnosed by sonography. Ultrasonically guided percutaneous puncture and drainage, and appropriate chemotherapy led to a marked improvement in the clinical picture and finally to complication-free remission. In a review of the literature the problems associated with purulent splenitis and the possibility of treating it by percutaneous puncture are pointed out. Purulent splenitis should be considered in all patients with temperatures and unexplained abdominal pain.

[BCG-vaccination in neonates as a cause of osteomyelitis--an argument against BCG-vaccination?].

BCG-osteomyelitis is a rare complication of BCG-vaccination. By means of a case report clinical and immunological findings are discussed. Contrary to the undramatic clinical symptoms the x-ray showed pronounced osteolytic lesions in the sternum. The bacteriological examination demonstrated mycobacteria of BCG-type. Immunological investigations presented normal humoral and cellular immunity. The therapy (curettage, antituberculous drugs) was effective. In spite of this complication the BCG-vaccination is furthermore recommended.
