Core Tip	We present two cases of severe pneumococcal infection transmitted between family members with congenital asplenia. Streptococcus pneumoniae infection may be transmitted within a household, so all household members should be warned when there is an infection in the house. In addition, asplenia/hyposplenia is sometimes congenital, so family members should be screened for these conditions.
