Özet

Nötropenik enterokolit veya tifilit, barsakların nekrotizan inflamatuvar akut hastalığıdır. Elli bir yaşında, kolon adenokarsinomu tanısı ile sağ hemikolektomi uygulanan erkek hasta, adjuvan kemoterapi sonrası karın ağrısı, bulantı, kusma, gaz ve gaita çıkaramama şikayetleriyle başvurdu. Fizik muayenede, karın distandü ve hassasdı. Barsak sesleri hiperaktif ve rektal tuşede ampulla boşdu. İlk değerlendirmede lökositozu olan hastanın, takiplerinde nötropeni, ateş, günde 10 kez olan diyare gelişti. Bu bulgularla nötropenik enterokolit düşünülerek medikal tedavi uygulandı.
