Abstract

Patients who are immunocompromised are at risk for serious intra-abdominal pathology compared to their age-matched counterparts. Furthermore, they may not manifest typical signs and symptoms of severe illness until late in the disease course. The emergency medicine provider needs to maintain a high index of suspicion of serious pathology in these patients.
