The role of splenectomy in the treatment of hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is now well established. There are however some particular situations which indicate splenectomy as a possible emergency therapy in markedly cytopenic cases with severe antibiotic-resistant infections. The aim of the emergency splenectomy in such conditions is to temporarily increase neutrophils and to permit the improvement of the infectious disease. We describe 2 cases of HCL with severe infectious disease, successfully splenectomized.
脾切除术在毛细胞白血病(HCL)治疗中的作用现已得到充分确立。然而,在某些特殊情况下,对于有严重抗生素耐药性感染且血细胞明显减少的病例,脾切除术可作为一种可能的紧急治疗方法。在这种情况下进行紧急脾切除术的目的是暂时增加中性粒细胞数量,并使传染病病情得到改善。我们描述了2例患有严重传染病的毛细胞白血病病例,这2例患者均成功接受了脾切除术。
