Renal jejunal fistula with worm infestation: A rare case report from a pediatric patient
This case highlights the importance of considering infectious diseases in the differential diagnosis of unusual renal or gastrointestinal symptoms, especially in pediatric patients from endemic regions. It demonstrates the necessity of interdisciplinary collaboration in managing rare and complex medical conditions and stresses the need for follow-up to assess long-term outcomes, which was limited in this case due to the patient's non-attendance at scheduled visits.
