A Case Report on Recurrent Intestinal Obstruction with Relapsing Klebsiella and Candida Sepsis in a 6 Years Old Patient: A Rare Case Report from South India

Abstract

When the forward movement of intestinal contents is interrupted or impeded by a mechanical reason, it is referred to as an intestinal obstruction. In this case report, a 6-year-old pediatric patient presented with complaints of abdominal pain, abdominal distension, and bilious vomiting associated with nausea. In a shorter period, he had undergone two recurrent surgeries for intestinal obstruction and also had two different infections preceding the completion of the two surgeries. This report can give a clear picture that diagnosis serves as a gold standard for designing a pharmacotherapeutic plan to reduce the susceptibility to various pathogenic infections and reduce the length of hospital stay.
