Congenital asplenia and group B streptococcus sepsis in the adult: case report and review of the literature.

Kumaran Thiruppathy1, Antonio Privitera, Kapila Jain, Sanjay Gupta.   

Abstract

Asplenia is associated with an increased incidence of fatal and life-threatening sepsis caused by encapsulated pathogens. Isolated congenital asplenia is a very rare condition, with only 33 cases reported in the literature. The authors report another case of this condition complicated by overwhelming Group B streptococcus sepsis secondary to paronychia that was managed successfully.
