Mesenteric ischemia as an unusual cause of bacteremia in the absence of endocarditis or colorectal neoplasm.

bacteremia is nearly always pathological and has been associated with colorectal cancer and endocarditis. Here, we present the first published case of bacteremia secondary to acute mesenteric ischemia. This case illustrates the typical presentation of acute mesenteric ischemia with an atypical consequence of bacteremia, as well as the diagnostic evaluations and management options.
