摘要：
Asplenic individuals ave known to be at a higher risk of developing serious and occasionally fatal sepsis. Prophylactic measures ave generally recommended for the first few years post-splenectomy. We report two cases of severe Pneumococcal Sepsis occuring more than 10 years post-splenectomy leading to prolonged hospitalisation and long term morbidity and suggest that Prophylactic Penicillin should be taken life-long.
