Suprapubic aspiration is very often performed in febrile children with no severe complications. We describe herein 3 febrile children with transient neutropenia who developed abscess at the site of the puncture. We also showed that such a complication was not noticed in nonneutropenic children for 6 months after the admission of the first case. It is demonstrated that suprapubic aspiration puts febrile children with benign neutropenia at risk for abdominal abscess formation.
