Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC), more of lifestyle-related disorder, is one of the deadliest types of cancer across the globe. Nevertheless, infectious agents could be responsible for 20% of cancer. Recent findings have indicated the association of in CRC and recommend routine screening for . Herein, we describe a case of CRC with severe infection.
