Small bowel obstruction is a partial or complete blockage of the small intestine. If the small bowel is functioning normally, digested products will continue to flow onward to the large intestine. An obstruction in the small bowel can partly or completely block contents from passing through.
Therefore, mucormycosis is an airborne infection that invades the respiratory organs, but could also invade the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in the subsequent development of hepatic and splenic lesions.
