Bacterial Translocation as a Source of Postoperative Fever After Revision of a Previous Duodenal Switch for Super-morbid Obesity: A Case Report

Bacterial translocation is defined as the invasion of gut bacteria or bacterial products to the systemic circulation via permeation through the gastrointestinal mucosal wall. In this article, we present the case of a patient with postoperative fever of unknown origin which was attributed to bacteria...

description Bacterial translocation is defined as the invasion of gut bacteria or bacterial products to the systemic circulation via permeation through the gastrointestinal mucosal wall. In this article, we present the case of a patient with postoperative fever of unknown origin which was attributed to bacterial translocation after revisional surgery due to malabsorptive complications after an initial duodenal switch for super-morbid obesity.
