Abstract:	We report the case of an 11-month-old infant who had a medical history of meningococcal septicaemia 6 months prior to this admission and presented to hospital with an episode of fever due to Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteraemia. During this second admission, an abdominal ultrasound scan revealed secondary asplenia.
