Impairment of Innate Immunity and Depletion of Vaccine‐Induced Memory B and T Cells in the Absence of the Spleen

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 770-784, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Splenectomy or congenital asplenia is associated with severe reduction of memory B cells and increased risk of fulminant sepsis by encapsulated bacteria. Current guidelines recommend vaccinations against these pathogens before or after splenectomy, but the longevity of immunity acquired after splenectomy has not been determined.
