Abstract

Splenectomy; Pneumococcal Vaccines; Sepsis Splenectomy is a widely accepted therapeutic strategy in the management of a variety of hematological disorders [1]. Regardless of its therapeutic advantages, it may be followed by overwhelming post-splenectomy infection (OPSI), the most devastating complication in asplenic individuals, which is a fulminant and rapidly fatal condition mainly due to encapsulated organisms [2]. The true incidence of OPSI is not well known; however, age at time of splenectomy, the underlying diagnosis, and the time elapsed from splenectomy constitute the main determinants of fatal outcome [3, 4]. Vaccinations against Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae type b, and Neisseria meningitidis, and long-term antibiotic prophylaxis, in conjunction with patient education, have been strongly advocated in splenectomized patients [2, 5].
