Prevention of OPSI
Avoid splenectomy when possible
Delay splenectomy until patient is >5 yr
Immunize before splenectomy with pneumococcal
vaccine, meningococcal vaccine & Hib vaccine
Daily prophylactic antibiotic administration (penicillin
or amoxicillin orally or erythromycin for allergic
patients) for all high risk patients of development of
sepsis (i.e., younger patients, underlying disease)
Aggressive education of patient and family to
ensure rapid medical attention & Antibiotics
Partial rather than total splenectomy
Obtain MedicAlert or equivalent warning system

Emergency Management of Febrile Asplenic Patients
Temperature below 38.5ºC
Examine patient (vital signs, localizing findings, especially any indication of meningitis).
Obtain blood culture and other cultures as indicated.
Administer stat intravenous or intramuscular antibiotics (ceftriaxone, ampicillin, or
equivalent coverage).
Begin oral antibiotics to cover encapsulated organisms (choice depends on local
epidemiology and whether the patient is receiving prophylactic antibiotics).
Temperature above 38.5ºC
Examine patient (vital signs, localizing findings, especially any indication of meningitis).
Obtain blood cultures, CBC & other cultures as indicated.
Administer stat i.v. antibiotics (ceftriaxone, ampicillin, or equivalent coverage).
Maintain intravenous hydration and observe patient for at least 6-12 hr in medical facility.
Consider hospital admission, depending on local circumstances, ability to monitor
patient, and proximity to medical facility. Discharge requires a responsible adult
immediately available to bring patient back in event of change in clinical stat
