The spleen is used by the body to filter old and damaged blood cells, store blood cells and produce antibodies to fight infection. without a spleen, your Liver takes over most of these functions. There is no limitation to what you can eat or drink, and there should be no effect on your body shape or features. If you have abdominal pain and swelling, or a fever over 101 you should talk to your Dr.

For this reason a Vaccine is recommended to protects you from this infectio
