Popis:	Key Clinical Message We should possibly revise our knowledge about risk assessment of splenectomized individuals with β‐thalassemia major. Besides their known risk of certain bacterial infection, they might be also in a risk of life‐threatening primary cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and end‐, multi‐organ disease, in the context of their immunosuppression status. Prompt and appropriate treatment initiation can be life saving.
