About Peritonitis.

Peritonitis is an acute or chronic inflammation of the peritoneum, the serous membrane lining the abdominal cavity and covering the visceral organs.

It most commonly arises from infectious etiologies, categorized as primary spontaneous infection of ascitic fluid, secondary contamination due to gastrointestinal perforation or rupture, or tertiary persistent infection following intervention.

It can affect diverse patient populations, notably individuals with cirrhosis and ascites, patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis, or those experiencing intra-abdominal trauma and surgical complications.

Pathophysiologically, the resulting peritoneal irritation triggers local exudation and systemic inflammatory responses, classically presenting with severe abdominal pain, tenderness, guarding, abdominal rigidity, fever, and the potential for rapid progression to sepsis.
