Overview

Peritonitis defined as inflammation of peritoneum (a serosal membrane lining the abdominal cavity and abdominal viscera) is associated with a higher mortality rate secondary to bacteremia and sepsis syndrome. Most common cause of peritonitis in approximately 80% adults is perforation of the gastrointestinal or biliary tract. Other less common causes include liver cirrhosis (result of alcoholism), and peritoneal dialysis associated peritonitis. Peritonitis can also result from injury and contamination with microorganisms, chemicals or both. It may be localized or generalized, and can have an acute course in infection secondary to rupture of a hollow viscus or follows a chronic course as seen in tuberculous peritonitis. Patients present with severe abdominal pain associated with fever, chills, nausea and vomiting. Peritonitis is a emergency medical/surgical condition requiring prompt medical attention and treatment.

Definition

Peritonitis is defined as inflammation of the peritoneum (a tissue that lines the inner wall of the abdominal cavity and covers most of the abdominal organs) from any cause. In contrast to peritonitis intrabdominal infection is defined as inflammation of peritoneum due to an infectious cause.[1]

Primary or Spontaneous Peritonitis Secondary Peritonitis Tertiary Peritonitis
  • Primary peritonitis/ spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) represents a group of diseases with different causes characterized by ascitic fluid infection of the peritoneal cavity without an evident surgically treatable intra-abdominal source of infection. It is usually associated with cirrhosis and ascites in adults.[2] Primary peritonitis lacks an identifiable anatomical derangement.[3]
  • Secondary peritonitis is defined as the infection of the peritoneum due to spillage of organisms into the peritoneal cavity resulting from hollow viscus perforation, anastomotic leak, ischemic necrosis, or other injuries of the gastrointestinal tract.[4]
  • Tertiary peritonitis is defined as the persistant or recurrent intra-abdominal infection that occur in ≥48 hours following the successful and adequate surgical source control of primary or secondary peritonitis.[4][5][6]

Peritonitis may be classified according to the etiology into 3 subtypes: primary, secondary, and tertiary peritonitis.

Classification Based on Etiology

Peritonitis is classified based on the cause of the inflammatory process and the character of microbial contamination as follows:[1][6][3]
