Peritonitis
Peritonitis
is an
inflammation
of the
peritoneum
, the thin tissue that lines the inner wall of the abdomen and covers most of the abdominal organs. Peritonitis may be localized or generalized, and may result from
infection
(often due to
rupture of a hollow abdominal organ
as may occur in
abdominal trauma
or
inflamed appendix
) or from a non-infectious process.
