Abdominal infections pose complex challenges in clinical management, with diverse etiologies and varying degrees of severity. Bacterial infections, commonly originating from the gastrointestinal tract, may result in conditions like peritonitis or intra-abdominal abscesses. In immunocompromised individuals, fungal or parasitic infections can also contribute to abdominal pathology. Diagnosis often involves a combination of clinical evaluation, laboratory tests, and advanced imaging modalities. Blood cultures may be conducted to identify the causative microorganisms and guide appropriate antibiotic therapy. In some cases, laparoscopic or open surgical exploration is necessary for both diagnosis and treatment. Antibiotic therapy plays a crucial role in managing abdominal infections, targeting specific pathogens identified through culture and sensitivity testing. However, the rise of antibiotic-resistant strains poses a growing concern, emphasizing the need for judicious use of antimicrobials and ongoing research into alternative treatment strategies. As our understanding of the complex nature of abdominal infections deepens, interdisciplinary collaboration among surgeons, infectious disease specialists, and microbiologists remains essential to develop optimal treatment approaches tailored to individual patient needs. Advances in diagnostic technologies and therapeutic modalities continue to shape the evolving landscape of abdominal infection management.
