Overwhelming infection occurring in the immediate post-splenectomy period.
1989
: Overwhelming post-splenectomy infection (OPSI) is a serious condition associated with a high mortality rate. Occurring most often in the first two years after splenectomy, it has also been described up to 47 years after this operation. We report a further occurrence of this syndrome and stress the importance of early detection and aggressive treatment of this type of infection.
