Abstract
The risk of severe infection is an important health problem in splenectomized patients, especially in those who underwent surgery for malignancies. Antibiotic prophylaxis could offer the most benefits in the first 3 years postsplenectomy or the first 6 months after the occurrence of a first severe infection.
