We should possibly revise our knowledge about risk assessment of splenectomized individuals with -thalassemia major. Besides their known risk of certain bacterial infection, they might be also in a risk of life-threatening primary cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and end-, multi-organ disease, in the context of their immunosuppression status. Prompt and appropriate treatment initiation can be life saving.
我们或许应该修正对重型β地中海贫血脾切除患者风险评估的认识。除了已知的某些细菌感染风险外,鉴于其免疫抑制状态,他们还可能面临危及生命的原发性巨细胞病毒(CMV)感染以及终末期多器官疾病的风险。及时且恰当的治疗启动可能挽救生命。
