摘要
Although functional hyposplenism, secondary to Fc-receptor blockage by circulating immune complexes saturation, has been described in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), only few cases of complete asplenism have been reported. We observed a 60-year-old woman with congenital asplenism who presented with active SLE. The course and the clinical characteristics of such patients are reviewed and the relationship between the asplenic state and initiation and severity of SLE are discussed. These patients are at high risk for fatal pneumococcemia and pneumococcal vaccine is recommended even if long term results are still conflicting.
