    • direct extension from disease in adjacent tissues of supportive peritonitis
    • haematogenously
      • via the umbilical vein from an infected umbilicus
      • via the portal vein in the alimentary tract
      • via the hepatic artery in bacteraemias and septicaemias
      • via the bile ducts
