Congenital isolated asplenia may arise as a minor form of situs abnormalities or result from an unrelated specific defect of spleen development. It is a rare life-threatening condition and pneumococcal sepsis is often the first sign of the disease. We report on the case of a deceased 11-month-old girl and her father who developed recurrent pneumococcal

Isolated Congenital Asplenia: An Occult Case of Overwhelming Sepsis
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1979Overwhelming bacterial infections occur more frequently in children in whom a splenectomy was performed, in children with a condition of autosplenectomy who have sickle cell disease, and in children who have the asplenia syndrome (Ivermark's syndrome: congenital absence of the spleen, cardiovascular anomalies, and other malformations).

Isolated congenital asplenia? Screen the relatives
The Journal of Pediatrics, 2011nuary 2011 Isolated congenital asplenia (ICA) (ie, in the absence of heterotaxy or cardiac anomalies) is thought to be rare and sporadic. Mahlaoui et al from France performed a national survey of French Pediatric Societies’ members and collected 10 index cases of ICA; the evaluation of relatives revealed an additional 10 cases.

[Isolated congenital asplenia--a rare cause of severe pneumococcal sepsis].
Harefuah, 2011Invasive disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (SPn) is common among young children. Severe sepsis can be seen among those with primary or secondary immunodeficiency states. The absence of a spleen is a well-known risk factor for severe and overwhelming pneumococcal sepsis, as well as other encapsulated bacteria (e.g. Haemophilus influenzae type b

[Connecting isolated congenital asplenia to the ribosome].
Biologie aujourd'hui, 2015Isolated congenital asplenia is characterized by the absence of a spleen at birth without any other developmental defect. Isolated congenital asplenia is a rare and life-threatening disease that predisposes patients to severe bacterial infections. The first and main genetic etiology of isolated congenital asplenia was discovered in 2013.
