Abstract
Although primary peritonitis is relatively uncommon, failure of clinical recognition may result in unnecessary surgery and increased morbidity. While primary peritonitis can occur in healthy subjects, it tends to affect females and individuals with certain underlying conditions. Parencentesis and culture remain the key to diagnosis and to deciding modality of treatment. With the advent of antibiotics, surgical management is now reserved for complications or for patients with persistent signs.
