AbstractFatal pneumococcal bacteremia, disseminated intravascular coagulation and Waterhouse Friderichsen syndrome in a vaccinated, splenectomized adult were caused by serotype 22F (Danish classification), which was not included in the vaccine. Revaccination with a 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine and antibiotic prophylaxis are advocated for patients who have undergone splenectomy.
