| [ Summary ] | Four rare intraperitoneal infectious diseases are described. Tuberculous peritonitis is very rare disease. Laparoscopy reveals peritoneal white nodules with this condition. Pelvic peritonitis is caused by Chlamydia, contracted through the sexual organs. Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome, perihepatitis caused by Chlamydia, displays violin string adhesions when observed laparoscopically. Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis occurs without an infectious focus such as cholecystitits. Culture bottles are useful to culture ascites. Abscesses accompanying Crohn's disease often requires surgical resection. Ultrasonography is useful for diagnosis of abscesses and fistule. | |
