Abstract

Sepsis remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children worldwide. Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) is a common cause of gastric outlet obstruction in infants that can cause sepsis. Characterized by progressive thickening of the pyloric muscle, it typically presents in the first few weeks of life with non-bilious projectile vomiting, dehydration, and weight loss. Sepsis may develop secondary to severe dehydration, metabolic alkalosis, delayed diagnosis, or underlying infection.
