Sporadic isolated congenital asplenia with fulminant pneumococcal meningitis: a case report and updated literature review

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2017
Background Isolated congenital asplenia (ICA) is a rare and life-threatening condition that predisposes patients to severe bacterial infections. Most of the reported cases are familial and the mode of inheritance is usually autosomal dominant.

Pulmonary Hemodynamic Changes with Nitric Oxide or Oxygen in a Patient with Asplenia, Single Right Ventricle, and Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection after Fontan Procedure

Case Reports in Cardiology, 2018
Asplenia syndrome is frequently complicated by a total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. Pulmonary venous obstruction, following total anomalous pulmonary venous connection surgery, is one of the risk factors for morbidity and mortality.

The protective effect of the spleen in sickle cell patients. A comparative study between patients with asplenia/hyposplenism and hypersplenism

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is caused by a point mutation in the beta-globin gene. SCD is characterized by chronic hemolytic anemia, vaso-occlusive events leading to tissue ischemia, and progressive organ failure.

Intra-erythrocytic vacuoles in asplenic patients: elusive genesis and original clearance of unique organelles

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
The spleen plays a dual role of immune response and the filtration of red blood cells (RBC), the latter function being performed within the unique microcirculatory architecture of the red pulp.

Impact of pretransplant asplenia vaccination on anti‐A/B antibody titers in prospective ABO incompatible kidney transplant recipients

Rheumatology & Autoimmunity, 2023
Background Asplenia vaccination is employed before ABO‐incompatible (ABOi) transplantation in case splenectomy is needed. Pneumococcal vaccines have been reported, in different patient groups, to increase anti‐A/B titers, through cross‐reactivity to ...

Congenital Asplenia Interrupts Immune Homeostasis and Leads to Excessive Systemic Inflammation in Zebrafish

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Splenectomy or congenital asplenia in humans increases susceptibility to infections. We have previously reported that congenital asplenia in zebrafish reduces resistance to Aeromonas hydrophila infection.
