Many people are living in rental homes as they save up to buy their own home. As life would have it, emergencies arise and most times, people tend to turn to their savings to deal with these emergencies and this simply means that the money they are saving towards buying a home does not grow as fast as they would like it to grow.

Many people are totally frustrated by the current banking systems because the make it very hard for one to qualify for a mortgage and without a mortgage, it is next to impossible to save all the money you need to buy a home. But is this the end of the dream? Indeed there are a number of options in the market to help you out and one of them is getting into a lease to own agreement.

Rent to own homes, also known as a lease to own or a lease purchase is a lease but with a special option to purchase the leased property within a specified period of time usually 2-3 years, at a state price. This somewhat new way of selling and acquiring property has become popular because of the strict regulations required for people to qualify for mortgages. Property owners have also turned to this new concept because they are not able to realize good returns for their property any other way.

There is a lot to be gained by all parties in these agreements but as usual caution must be exercised to avoid falling into bad agreements. If the terms are not properly set to cater for both parties a lot of losses can be incurred. It is therefore important for each to be fully aware of the terms stipulated in the contract they sign. Real estate agent or attorneys should be involved to draft up the lease and explain it to their respective clients.

So in a typical scenario, the buyer is required to put down a percentage between 1- 5 % and this acts as a down payment and continues to pay monthly rentals. All these amounts are credited to the total cost of the property. These payments are negotiable and it up to both parties to agree on the amounts. Many home buyers take a lease to own property and within the specified period of time when they can exercise the option to buy, they work on their finances and their credit rating so as to qualify for a mortgage.

This time period also gives them the chance to accumulate savings which they can use to buy the said property. Should the potential home buyer chose not to exercise the purchase option for the property, they forfeit the fees and rent paid that far. Some lease options may provide a clause that allows the potential buyer to sell their option to buy, thus recovering some of the money paid in terms of rental and down payment.

These home purchase options is being used more and more especially in the harsh economic times because it is valuable to all the parties involved.

The infections are typically characterized by either meningitis or sepsis, and are caused by encapsulated organisms including Streptococcus pneumoniae. The risk of OPSI is 0.23–0.42 percent per year, with a lifetime risk of 5 percent. Most infections occur in the first few years following splenectomy, but the risk of OPSI is lifelong. OPSI is nearly uniformly fatal without treatment, and modern treatment has decreased the mortality to approximately 40–70 percent. Individuals with OPSI are most commonly treated with antibiotics and supportive care. Measures to prevent OPSI include vaccination and prophylactic antibiotics.

In particular, these macrophages are activated when bacteria are bound by IgG antibodies (IgG1 or IgG3) or the complement component C3b. These types of antibodies and complements are immune substances called opsonizers, molecules that bind to the surface of bacteria to facilitate phagocytosis. When the spleen is no longer present (asplenia), IgG and C3b are still bound to bacteria, but they cannot be removed from the blood circulation due to the loss of the splenic macrophages. Hence the bacteria are free to cause infection.
		+
		+	Patients without spleens often need immunizations against pathogens that normally require opsonization and phagocytosis by macrophages in the spleen. These include common human pathogens with bacterial capsules (Streptococcus pneumoniae, Salmonella typhi, Neisseria meningitidis, E. coli, Hemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus agalactiae, Klebsiella pneumoniae). Capsules made of polysaccharides (sugars) are an evolutionary development by bacteria to evade phagocytosis by macrophages alone, since only proteins are directly recognized by macrophages in phagocytosis. So humoral immunity in forms of IgG and complement proteins is the human immune system's response against bacterial capsules.
		+
		+	=='''Risk factors'''==
		+	All post splenectomy patients have an increased risk of overwhelming bacterial infection. Certain factors however do influence the degree of risk: (a) Age: Younger patients have greater risk; (b) Underlying disease: Risk with underlying immunodeficiency > thalassemia > sickle cell anemia > traumatic splenectomy; (c) Time since splenectomy: Recent splenectomy has greater risk than many years post-operatively.
		+
		+	=='''Pathogens involved'''==
		+	The most common cause of overwhelming post-splenectomy sepsis is S. pneumoniae, however all of the pathogens listed below can be a source of serious infection in these patients: (a) Encapsulated bacteria: S. pneumoniae, H. influenza, N. meningitidis; (b) S. aureus; (c) Numerous gram negatives including E. coli, K. pneumoniae, Salmonella sp. and Capnotcytophagia sp. (the latter usually acquired from a dog bite); (d) Malaria; (e) Babesia (acquired from ticks in the Eastern seaboard particularly Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, Block Island).
		+
		+	=='''Specific vaccinations'''==
		+	Individuals undergoing splenectomy should receive the age appropriate (see below) pneumococcal vaccine, H. influenza and quadrivalent meningococcal vaccine (the latter for those > 2 years of age) if possible up to three weeks prior to removal of the spleen to optimize the immune response. When this is not feasible and for emergency splenectomy, vaccination should be initiated as soon as possible after the patient’s recuperation.
		+
		+	There are currently 2 licensed pneumococcal vaccines: (a) 23-valent Pnemococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine, PPV-23 (Pneumovax®). This vaccine is immunogenic only in those > 2 years of age and provides protection against the greatest number of clinically relevant seroptypes; (b) 7-valent Protein-Conjugated Vaccine, PCV-7 (Prevnar®), which is immunogenic and safe beginning at 6 weeks of age. It has not been well studied in older patients and provides protection against only 7 serotypes.
		+
		+	=='''Vaccination guidelines'''==
		+	[NOTE: These guidelines may change and reader should consult most recent sources].
		+
		+	Current recommendations for this use of these vaccines post splenectomy are as follows: (a) Children less than 2 years of age should receive PCV-7 at the usual ages recommended for children their age: 2, 4, 6 and 12-15 months of age. These children should be given PPV-23 at 2 years of age; (b) Children 2 to 5 years of age should receive two doses of PCV-7 given 2 months apart, followed > 2 months later by a dose of PPV-23; (c) Older children and adults should receive the PPV23. (These recommendations may change as more safety and efficacy data becomes available in older patients.)
		+
		+	A booster PPV23 should be given approximately 5 years after the initial vaccine/series; Quadrivalent conjugated meningococcal vaccine should be given to all asplenic individuals > 2 years of age. (Also subject to change as new vaccines become available); Hemophilus influenza vaccine should be given once to all individuals > 2 years of age and at the time of routine vaccination for younger children.
		+
		+	=='''Additional information'''==
		+	The issue of antibiotic prophylaxis in these patients is controversial for several reasons. The risk of disease, while lifelong is variable, depending on the factors listed above. The only regimen which has been studied is penicillin prophylaxis for patients with functional asplenia from sickle cell anemia. Resistance to penicillin (and other antibiotics) is a growing concern, so it’s efficacy is currently presumed to be lower. In addition, compliance with an indefinite daily regimen is extremely difficult. The patients who are most likely to benefit from prophylaxis are:
		+
		+	Children < 5 years of age,
		+	Individuals who have had splenectomy within the past year,
		+	Those with an underlying immunodeficiency in addition to splenectomy
		+
		+	Regimens for children: (though there is limited data re: efficacy in the current era of increasing pneumococcal resistance)
		+
		+	Penicillin G: Pediatrics: 250 mg. p.o. b.i.d. (less than 5 years, 125 mg. p.o., b.i.d.)
		+	Alternatives: Amoxicillin: Pediatrics: 20mg/kg/day divided b.i.d.
		+	There are currently no ideal second line oral agents, thus penicillin allergies should be assessed carefully.
		+
		+	No data are available in adults and antibiotic prophylaxis is generally not recommended this population. As always, patients need to be evaluated on an individual basis.
		+
		+	Clinician must stress to patients the limits of both vaccination and prophylactic antibiotics. Clinicians should ensure that patients understand the need for prompt medical evaluation for all febrile illnesses. Patients who do not have rapid access to medical care should be advised to develop resources for the local availability of appropriate antibiotics. Patients need to be aware of the increased risk posed by dog bites, and tick and mosquito bites in areas endemic for babesia and malaria respectively.
