description 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.
