Postsplenectomy sepsis in children is a well-recognized hazard. Few reports discuss the risk of sepsis in the asplenic adult. Case reports of 47 adults with serious infections following splenectomy for trauma were examined. We conclude that fulminant sepsis after splenectomy for trauma in adults is indeed a potential risk and that all such patients should receive penicillin prophylaxis and pneumococcal vaccine.
儿童脾切除术后败血症是一种公认的风险。很少有报告讨论无脾成年人发生败血症的风险。我们检查了47例因外伤行脾切除术后发生严重感染的成年人的病例报告。我们得出结论，成人因外伤行脾切除术后暴发性败血症确实是一种潜在风险，所有此类患者均应接受青霉素预防治疗并接种肺炎球菌疫苗。
