Abstract:
Neutropenic enterocolitis (typhlitis) is an unusual
acute complication of neutropenia, most often associated
with leukaemia and lymphoma and characterized by segmental
caecal and ascending colonic ulceration that may
progress to necrosis, perforation, and septicaemia. We present
a unique case of an 8-year-old girl with recently diagnosed
infectious mononucleosis having findings consistent
with typhlitis on abdominal CT.
