The complex diagnostic procedure involved in a case of splenic abscess in a young drug addict as a result of septicaemia caused by streptococcus fascalis is described and discussed with an examination of the criteria in support of a more aggressive approach to the removal of septic foci in such patients with AIDS. It is concluded that such criteria are valid even when, as in the case described, splenectomy further depresses the immune system.
本文描述并讨论了一名年轻吸毒者因粪链球菌败血症导致脾脓肿的复杂诊断过程，并审视了支持对此类艾滋病患者采取更积极方法清除感染灶的标准。得出的结论是，即使如所述病例那样脾切除术会进一步抑制免疫系统，这些标准仍然有效。
