Eye Infection: what's the culprit?

During the 24 hours preceding the emergency room visit, I.C. experienced nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Evaluation revealed a mass located in the sigmoid colon, and surgical resection was planned. Prior to surgery, I.C. had a short-term subclavian catheter inserted for fl uids, total parenteral nutrition, and correction of electrolytes. A sigmoid colectomy was performed, and pathology confi rmed adenocarcinoma stage IIa. I.C. seemed to recover from surgery without complication.
