In hospital setting, intra-abdominal infections (IAI) are the 2nd most common cause of infection that leads to severe sepsis and mortality.
Hollow viscera is where common disruptions occur, which allows intraluminal bacteria to invade and proliferate in the usually sterile area (ie peritoneal cavity or retroperitoneum).
Routine history, physical and laboratory exams usually identify patients with suspected intra-abdominal infections (IAI).
Successful management of intra-abdominal infection (IAI) depends on early recognition, timely hemodynamic resuscitation and support of vital organ function, early administration of appropriate antimicrobial agents, quick anatomic diagnosis and adequate source control, reevaluation of patient’s response and appropriate modification of treatment strategy.
