Intestinal intussusception is an intestinal obstruction caused by the insertion of one intestine into another. Intestinal intussusception is the most frequent form of acquired intestinal obstruction in childhood, accounting for 70-80% of all its types [2]. According to various authors, diagnostic errors in intestinal intussusception at the stage of primary care make up 34 - 88.8%, which determines late admission of patients and, of course, worsens the results of treatment. It should be emphasized that in recent decades there have been changes in the clinical picture and course of the disease, an increase in the number of recurrent intussusception [2]. In this article, we presented a case of fatal intestinal intussusception in a 2-month-old child registered in the pediatric department of the regional infectious disease hospital of Abay region, Republic of Kazakhstan. The development of intestinal obstruction against the background of acute intestinal infection is not uncommon, but is not often described in the literature [2]. The article will be interesting to medical workers who first meet with patients with intestinal intussusception, namely doctors of "emergency and urgent care", district pediatricians, general practitioners, doctors of infectious and somatic hospitals.
