Lack of an association between spleen volume and risk of pneumococcal infection in cancer patients: a nested case-control study by Ibuki Kurihara, Hajime Yamazaki, Sakura Kato, Noriko Oyama-Manabe, Hitoshi Sugawara

“…Over a median follow-up of 4.95 (interquartile range, 1.54–9.25) years, 60 patients were diagnosed with pneumococcal infection (20 with invasive pneumococcal disease and 40 with pneumonia without invasive pneumococcal disease) and matched with 240 controls. Spleen volume reduction (per 10 cm3) did not increase risk of pneumococcal infection in a crude analysis [OR 1.04 (95% CI 0.98–1.11)]. …”
