Splenectomy was performed in two patients amongst a group of 120 suffering from bacterial endocarditis. In the first case, rupture of the spleen followed rupture of a partially thrombosed splenic vein and bacteriological specimens were negative despite the presence of multiple infarcted areas, certain of which were suppurative. In the second case surgery was possible before rupture of the spleen. The latter was the site of numerous abcesses, one of which was in the process of fissuration, and bacteriological specimens were positive. The course in both cases was favourable. Twenty two other cases have been found in the literature with 15 deaths. Whilst the prevalence of such complications remains low, their severity is such that routine surveillance of the kidney should be the rule in infectious endocarditis. The methods of such surveillance are discussed, the mechanism of such complications not being fully elucidated: the respective role of splenic infarction, splenic abcess and immunological factors remains to be determined.
