the abdominal wall. Peritonitis are localized only in the pelvic cavity called pelvioperitonitis.
The cause of peritonitis include: the spread of infection from an infected abdominal
organs, pelvic inflammatory disease in women who are still active in sexual activity, infection of
the uterus and fallopian tubes, abnormal liver or heart failure, peritonitis can occur after a
surgery, peritoneal dialysis (treatment fails kidney), irritation without an infection.
Patofisologi peritoneum peritonitis was the initial reaction to bacterial invasion is the
release of fibrinous exudate. Formed pockets of pus (abscess) among fibrinous adhesions, which
stick together with the surrounding surface so as to limit the infection. The attachment usually
disappears when the infection disappear, but it can be settled as fibrinous bands, which later can
cause intestinal obstruction. The general principles of therapy in peritonitis are:

Replacement of lost fluids and electrolytes made intravenously.

b) Antibiotic therapy plays a very important role in the treatment of puerperal infection.
c) Analgesic therapy given to treat pain.
d) Surgery include infection of the material and correct the cause.
