<![CDATA[Peritonitis is an inflammation of the peritonium which consists of a serous membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and visceral organs in it and is an emergency that can be accompanied by sepsis. Inflammation in peritonitis can be localized or generalized in the peritoneum cavity which is generally caused by bacteria or fungi, but can also be caused by non-infectious substances such as the contents of the stomach or bile contents. Peritonitis due to infection is classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary. This is rare, but it generally appears in teenage women. 90% of SBP cases occur due to monomicrobial infections. Streptococcus pneumoniae is usually the causative organism. It has been reported that a 15-year-old woman was brought to the emergency room complaining of severe abdominal pain. The pain is felt continuously as if it were pricked. Previously, the patient had taken Chinese medicine given by the patient's mother but it did not decrease. On physical examination, signs of peritonitis were obtained and a laparotomy was planned. The patient is categorized as an ASA II patient, due to the absence of a history of systemic disease.]]>
