Peritonitis is an inflammation of the peritoneum, usually caused by bacterial infection due to perforation of abdominal organs such as the appendix or intestine. It commonly presents with severe abdominal pain, tenderness, fever, and signs of systemic infection. If not treated promptly, it can lead to sepsis and life-threatening complications. Early diagnosis and management with antibiotics and often surgical intervention are essential for better outcomes.
