Splenectomy: Viruses are fought by other parts of the immune system, not necessarily the spleen. Without a spleen you are at risk for encapsulated bacteria infection like strep pneumonia, pseudomonas, the meningitis bacteria. For pneumonia and meningitis there are vaccines. Get vaccinated, follow up with MD.
