Streptococcus pneumoniae sepsis is the most common invasive infection among patients with sickle cell disease. The risk of a recurrent episode of sepsis and subsequent death in those patients who have had a previous septic event is much higher. Patients with sickle disease who have had pneumococcal sepsis should continue penicillin prophylaxis indefinitely and should not be candidates for out-patient management of febrile episodes.
