What is Peritonitis?
Peritonitis is an inflammation of the membrane that lines the entire abdominal cavity from the inside. Peritonitis is typically caused by the infiltration of bacteria entering the peritoneal cavity. When it spreads throughout the whole cavity – it can become a severe and life-threatening condition. Peritonitis, regardless of the causing factor, causes paralytic obstruction of the digestive tract, i.e., stopping the work of the intestines.
