| Abstract |
|
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a bacterial infection of ascites arising from liver cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome and so on. Primary bacterial peritonitis (PBP) is a rare intraabdomial infection in the absence of underlying diseases or rupture of the viscus. The authors report an autopsy case of posttraumatic primary bacterial peritonitis in the otherwise physically healthy young female. She was beaten repeatedly around the abdomen with human physical instruments for a prolonged time. |
