About E. coli peritonitis.

*E.

coli* peritonitis is an acute localized or diffuse infection of the peritoneal membrane caused by the Gram-negative bacillus *Escherichia coli*.

It most frequently arises as spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in patients with end-stage liver disease and ascites, secondary peritonitis following gastrointestinal perforation, or a catheter-related enteric infection in individuals undergoing peritoneal dialysis.

Pathophysiologically, bacterial invasion into the sterile peritoneal cavity triggers marked mesothelial inflammation, vascular permeability, and an influx of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, typically manifesting clinically with abdominal pain, rebound tenderness, fever, and cloudy peritoneal fluid.
