A person without spleen may need antibiotic therapy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Spleen destroys worn out red blood cells and provides immunity to the body. Sometimes the spleen may get enlarged, this indicates a infection in the body.

A severe infection in the spleen may need a spleen removal by surgery. any person without a spleen will have a weakened immune system, and may need antibiotic therapy to treat possible infections.
