Southern Medical Journal, 1987
In the past 15 years, it has become increasingly evident that diverse conditions may be linked with hyposplenism and that hyposplenic individuals are susceptible to overwhelming infection, particularly by the encapsulated organisms such as pneumococci, meningococci, and Haemophilus influenzae.

Prophylactic Splenectomy and Hyposplenism in Spaceflight
Aerospace Medicine and Human Performance, 2022BACKGROUND: There is debate whether astronauts traveling to space should undergo a prophylactic splenectomy prior to long duration spaceflight. Risks to the spleen during flight include radiation and trauma. However, splenectomy also carries significant risks.METHODS: Systematic review of data published over the past 5 decades regarding risks ...

Hyposplenism in Primary Systemic Amyloidosis
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1983Twenty-two of 91 (24%) patients with primary systemic amyloidosis were functionally hyposplenic. This group, identified by blood smear findings, had a different survival distribution when compared with a normosplenic group (p less than 0.0001).

S�zary syndrome with hyposplenism
Blut, 1984Phenotypic, functional and clinical analysis of two patients with Sezary Syndrome are presented. Both patients had an elevated lymphocyte count with the helper/inducer cell phenotype by analysis with monoclonal antibodies (OKT3+, T4+, T6-, T8-, M1-), had the characteristic cerebriform nucleus of Sezary cells, and were Fc-IgG receptor negative.

Hyposplenic, Coagulopathic, Cryptogenetic Pneumococcemia
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1975An unusual case of sudden, fulminant pneumococcemia and disseminated intravascular coagulation occurred in a woman who had had incidental splenectomy 8 months previously, at the time of gastrectomy for duodenal ulcer. Similar cases in which there is constant relationship of splenectomy, pneumococcal sepsis, and Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome have ...

FROM ASPLENIA TO SEVERE INFECTION: The most serious consequence of asplenia due to absence of the spleen, its resection or its functional failure is the risk of severe infection. RAPIDLY PROGRESSIVE SEPTICEMIA: It is estimated that the risk of death due to septicemia is 200 times higher in splectomized patients than in patients with a spleen.

Hippokratia, 2014
Functional hyposplenism is a condition accompanying many diseases such as sickle cell disease, celiac disease, alcoholic liver disease, hepatic cirrhosis, lymphomas and autoimmune disorders. It is characterised mostly by defective immune responses against infectious agents, especially encapsulated organisms, since the spleen is thought to play an ...

ADULT CŒLIAC DISEASE IN HYPOSPLENIC PATIENTS
The Lancet, 1970Abstract In a six-month period 25,012 blood-films from 17,140 patients were examined in a routine haematology laboratory. 18 cases of hyposplenism were detected. In 16 the cause was surgical splenectomy. In the other 2 cases, previously unsuspected cœliac disease was demonstrated by jejunal biopsy (subtotal villous atrophy) and weight gain on gluten ...
