Acute typhlitis in an immunocompromised host. Report of an unusual case and review of the literature.

T Hiruki¹, B Fernandes, J Ramsay, I Rother.

Abstract

A case of acute typhlitis arising in a neutropenic male is described. Light and electron microscopy reveal findings resembling those of an early stage of malakoplakia. The coexistence of these two uncommon lesions suggests a pathogenetic role in the development of septicemia in immunocompromised hosts.
