Staphylococcal suppurative mesenteric lymphadenitis.
Abstract
Two young adult males presenting with suppurative mesenteric lymphadenitis, caused by coagulase positive staphylococcus, with unusual clinical findings are reported. Pre-operative and operative differential diagnosis and management are discussed. Previous publications are briefly reviewed. The condition is extremely rare in adults and the pathogenesis is not well understood.
