  • Title: Primary peritonitis due to Streptococcus A: laparoscopic treatment.
    Author: Legras A, Lodico R, Ferre R, Valleur P, Pautrat K.
    Journal: J Visc Surg; 2011 Sep; 148(4):e315-7. PubMed ID: 21889922.
    Abstract:
    Primary peritonitis is defined as peritoneal infection without an evident intraperitoneal septic focus. This is a rare condition and few cases are reported in the literature. We report a case of primary peritonitis in a 23-year-old female that was diagnosed and treated laparoscopically. The challenge for the surgeon is to consider the possibility of this diagnosis, and to avoid conversion to laparotomy in search of a hypothetical septic focus when none is apparent on laparoscopy.
