Abstract

Two patients with lymphoproliferative disorders, one with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and the other hairy cell leukemia, developed spontaneous rupture of the spleen during the course of their disease. In both cases, this rare complication occurred during systemic atypical infections with Salmonella Dublin and Candida tropicalis respectively. We suggest that severe infection may sometimes play a decisive role in the development of the splenic rupture in some patients who have splenomegaly due to these disorders.
