Description
- Abstract:
- Typhlitis, or neutropenic enterocolitis is characterized by edema and inflammation of the cecum, ascending colon, and sometimes the terminal ileum. Incidence is anywhere from 3.5 to 5.3%. Resolution usually corresponds with return of neutrophil counts. Here we describe an immunocompromised individual with abdominal pain and diagnosed to have acute typhlitis.
