Abstract
The increased risk of infection starts immediately in the postoperative period, is highest in the first two years after splenectomy, but persists throughout life. The potential gravity of infections in splenectomized patient (historically dominated by S. pneumoniae, N. meningitidis and H. influenzae) becomes maximal with the extreme gravity represented by overwhelming post-splenectomy infection (OPSI), and justifies rigorous management of immunizations (Anti-pneumococcal, Meningococcal, and H. influenzae in particular), as well as antibiotic prophylaxis started in the immediate postoperative period, and patient education. Prompt reaction by the splenectomized patient and attending physician when fever or signs suggest the possibility of OPSI is essential to avoid rapid deterioration, and stresses the importance of these preventive and educational measures.
