| Abstract: | In six previously healthy children and adults with typical acute appendicitis,Streptococcus pneumoniae was isolated from peritoneal swabs or periappendicular pus in pure culture (four patients) or together with intestinal flora. Pneumococci recovered by abdominal paracentesis are not pathognomonic of socalled primary or spontaneous peritonitis. |
