Severe pneumococcal disease and temporary splenic dysfunction.

M D Pelly1, Z Huo, D C Henderson, N Soni.

We report a patient presenting with pneumonia in whom temporary splenic dysfunction was diagnosed by counting pitted red blood cells. This under-recognised condition caused a transient immunosuppression which may have had serious implications for our patient's recovery.
