Abstract

[Intra-abdominal infection and sepsis may present in several forms, which may present the clinician with difficulty in diagnosis and treatment. Intra-abdominal sepsis may involve any intra-abdominal organ or space due to intrinsic disease or an interruption in the continuity of the gastrointestinal tract due to trauma or surgery. Intra-abdominal infection may be categorized as complicated or uncomplicated, where complicated infection may present outside the organ involved and is associated with abscess or peritonitis and uncomplicated is only a transmural inflammation restricted to the organ itself.]
