Abstract

We describe a 46-year-old splenectomized patient who died of Haemophilus Influenzae septicemia 16 h following bronchoscopy. Although rare, postsplenectomy overwhelming sepsis is always a danger in splenectomized patients undergoing invasive procedures. Chemoprophylaxis should be considered in asplenic patients peribronchoscopy.
