    Abstract:
    Streptococcus pneumoniae is a rare cause of appendicitis.We report apneumococcal appendicitis with secondary peritonitis in a human immunodeficiency virus–positive adult, with favorable outcome after surgery and antibiotic therapy. Secondary peritonitis is frequently complication of S pneumoniae appendicitis in the few reported cases,and no specific risk factor has been identified so far.
