Abstract

appendicitis Gastroenterology gastrointestinal infection Infectious Disease Internal Medicine intestinal spirochetosis irritable bowel disease rlq pain
Intestinal spirochetosis is a gastrointestinal infection with vague and inconsistent symptoms. It similarly presents multiple gastrointestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and appendicitis. We present a case of a 27-year-old female with intestinal spirochetosis who was later found to have subacute appendicitis. Further understanding of the disease and a set of criteria may have to be created for its management.
