RESUMEN
Los pacientes esplenectomizados o con hipoesplenia son
susceptibles a desarrollar infecciones y sepsis grave. A esta
entidad se le denomina sídrome de sepsis postesplenectomía
(SSPE). Reportamos el caso de una paciente que presentó
SSPE secundario a
Neisseria meningitidis serogrupo CR7, 10
años después de practicársele esplenectomía por púrpura
trombocitopénica idiopática. El SSPE tiene una elevada mortalidad,
su evolución es fulminante, las manifestaciones son
graves y el pronóstico es malo. Es fundamental que los pacientes
esplenectomizados sean vacunados, reciban antibióticos
profilácticos y atención médica ante cualquier manifestación
de un proceso infeccioso. Es prioritario implementar una política
de salud pública para el desarrollo de guías relacionadas
al seguimiento de los pacientes esplenectomizados y sobre
