during the standard heat sterilization process of the lactate–buffered peritoneal dialysis solutions, glucose (an osmotic active substance) degrades to form compounds called glucose degradation products which are cytotoxic and affect the survival of the peritoneal membrane. this case presentation is based on an observation of 224 aseptic peritonitis cases of unknown etiology. for the purpose of...

BACKGROUND Dermoid cyst is the most frequent benign ovarian tumor. Spillage of cyst contents during surgery is common and can rarely lead to chemical peritonitis. CASE REPORT A patient presented 3 days after attempted laparoscopic removal of bilateral dermoid cysts. On examination, she had a low-grade fever, rebound tenderness with guarding, and a markedly elevated white blood cell count. A ...

Peritonitis is inflammation of the peritoneal cavity. It may be primary (e.g., hematogenous infection of the peritoneum as in feline infectious peritonitis) or secondary (i.e., resulting from chemical or septic contamination of the peritoneal cavity) and may be generalized (i.e., diffuse) or localized (i.e., only a small portion of the abdomen is involved). Chemical peritonitis is caused by the...

1. A study of the blood chlorides, urea and non-protein nitrogen and the carbon dioxide-combining power in experimental general peritonitis is here reported. 2. The similarity between the chemical changes in high intestinal obstruction and general peritonitis is noted. These chemical changes suggest that the cause of death may be, at least in part, the same in the two diseases.

P eritonitis can be induced by a number of infectious (bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic) and noninfectious (traumatic, chemical, neoplastic) causes. Bacterial agents are the most well-recognized cause of peritonitis in horses, and bacterial peritonitis is often described as primary or secondary based on the mode of entry of the infectious agent. Primary peritonitis usually occurs only in ass...

It has been previously reported that the most common cause of peritonitis in patients undergoing chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is infection by a single gram-positive bacterial species. Polymicrobial bacterial infections are identified that may be secondary to bowel perforation. In 20% of cases bacterial cultures are negative. Although cultures may be negative when infection is d...

Laparoscopic cystectomy for mature cystic teratoma is widely performed, but there no certainty about the risk of developing chemical peritonitis due to intraoperative spillage. We retrospectively reviewed 148 cases laparoscopic ovarian in five years (2016-2020) our hospital. The spillage rate was 76.3%, and incidence 2.7%. In spillage, occurred more frequently patients whose tumor contents spre...
