Children with asplenia or hyposplenia are at risk of developing overwhelming sepsis. Health care providers caring for children with asplenia should ensure the best outcomes by using preventive strategies that focus on parent and patient education, immunization, antibiotic prophylaxis and aggressive management of suspected infection. The present position statement offers current guidance on each of these issues and replaces a previous CPS statement, 'Prevention and therapy of bacterial infections for children with asplenia or hyposplenia', published in 1999.
无脾或脾功能减退的儿童有发生暴发性败血症的风险。照顾无脾儿童的医护人员应通过采用侧重于家长和患者教育、免疫接种、抗生素预防以及对疑似感染进行积极管理的预防策略，确保获得最佳治疗效果。本立场声明就上述每个问题提供了当前指导意见，并取代了加拿大儿科学会1999年发表的前一份声明《无脾或脾功能减退儿童细菌感染的预防和治疗》。
