Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients with severe infections, abscess, or sepsis are ineligible for standard treatment using biological and immunosuppressive drug regimens. We report a case of complicated Crohn's disease with ruptured abdominal abscess, presence of enterocutaneous fistula, and sepsis. We also report and discuss patient management with parenteral nutrition (PN) and enteral nutrition (EN) and treatment outcomes. We report a case of a 31-year-old female with a 10-year history of IBD in clinical remission, who, after previous total proctocolectomy with J-pouch, presented to the clinic with severe abdominal pain of 2 days, unintentional weight loss, fatigue, fever, and abdominal abscess, which ruptured, and her clinical state became complicated by sepsis. PN was initiated using individually prepared admixture according to patient requirements, because of inability to tolerate any oral intake. Following the remittance of ileus symptoms, EN was added using a semielemental formula via a nasojejunal tube. Upon completion of the treatment, the fistula resolved, the wound had healed, and Crohn's Disease Activity Index score showed remission. This qualified the patient for initiation of biological therapy with infliximab. Patients with severe infections, abscesses, or sepsis are ineligible for standard IBD treatment using biological and immunosuppressive drug regimens. Furthermore, usually patients' nutrition condition prevents them from combating infection and initiating proper healing process. This case demonstrates the importance of considering nutrition therapy-PN and EN-in unstable patients who cannot be treated with standard pharmacological therapy. Nutrition therapy offers a bridge that allows patients to stabilize and heal before starting standard pharmacological treatment with immunosuppressive agents or biological therapy.
