Splenectomy for sepsis
According to prof. I V Zavadsky (Russian. Clin., 1925, No. 20) slow sepsis shows the surgical removal of the spleen, if the patient has a prolonged fever, enlargement of the spleen and a certain degree of anemia (of course, you must first exclude malaria, typhoid disease, tbc , lues, leukemia, lymphogranulomatosis, leishmaniasis, and Maltese fever). The presence of microbes in the blood is not a contraindication to this operation, which should not be used only in case of obvious significant signs of cardiac decompensation.
