There are 3 stages in peritonitis. In stage 1- it lasts between 2-12 hrs and the patient is in acute pain, gaeneralised pain all over abdomen, tachycardic, BP may be high, pyrexial. In stage 2 - The body tries to fight the infection/inflammatory process by trying to localise the inflammation (omentum form a protective layer) and the patient may seem relatively well in the next 12-24 hrs. In stage 3 the body fails and patient is more unwell - pyrexial, tachycardic, hypotensive and in shock.
Peritonitis typically progresses through four stages: acute localized infection, acute diffuse peritonitis, progressive peritonitis with organ dysfunction, and septic shock. The severity of peritonitis increases with each stage, leading to systemic symptoms such as fever, severe abdominal pain, sepsis, and organ failure, requiring emergency medical intervention. Early recognition and treatment are crucial to prevent complications and improve outcomes.
Increasing rigidity and tenderness indicates an increased likelihood of perforation and peritonitis.

peritonitis and death
Peritonitis, pleurisy, and pericarditis are all conditions involving inflammation of the lining membranes of body cavities. This inflammatory response can be caused by infections, autoimmune diseases, or other underlying health conditions. Common symptoms include pain, swelling, and difficulty breathing, depending on the specific location of the inflammation.
Peritonitis is painful because it results from inflammation or infection of the peritoneum, the lining of the abdominal cavity. This leads to irritation of the nerves in the peritoneum, causing pain. Additionally, the inflammation can cause muscles in the abdominal wall to spasm, further increasing the sensation of pain.

Tuberculosis peritonitis causes ascites.
Tuberculosis peritonitis causes ascites.
In the thyoglycollate model of peritonitis, researchers inject thyoglycollate broth into the peritoneal cavities of laboratory animals to induce peritonitis. Then they test their materials to see if they are effective in curing peritonitis.
You get peritonitis, once the appendix get burst.
Peritonitis is an inflammation of the peritoneum. The main manifestations of peritonitis are acute abdominal pain, abdominal tenderness, and abdominal guarding.
Increasing rigidity and tenderness indicates an increased likelihood of perforation and peritonitis.
The peritoneum is a membrane that surrounds the walls and organs of the abdominal cavity below the diaphragm. Peritonitis signs and symptoms include: severe abdominal pain that may radiate to the tip of the shoulder, boardlike rigid abdomen, abdominal distention, nausea, vomiting, fever, rapid heart rate, rapid breathing, restlessness, confusion, and little to no urination. Mortality rate is about 40% overall. Complications of peritonitis are shock from fluid loss into abdominal cavity and death. Abscesses are also common.
Unless there is bowel obstruction, along with the peritonitis, bowel sounds can still be present.
