4.2.02. Prophylaxis in functional asplenia hyposplenism

Dive into the critical strategies for protecting patients with asplenia or hyposplenism from life-threatening infections like Overwhelming Post-Splenectomy Infection (OPSI). This guide explains the 'immunological void' left by a non-functioning spleen and details the three essential pillars of prophylaxis: targeted vaccinations, continuous antibiotic therapy, and robust patient education. We also cover crucial management for special scenarios, including dog bites (Capnocytophaga canimorsus) and travel precautions.
