'''Peritonitis''' is defined as inflammation of the [[Peritoneal Cavity - Anatomy & Physiology|peritoneum]]. The inflammatory response involves vasodilation, [[Exudate|exudation]] of protein-rich fluid, cellular infiltration, pain and, chronically, formation of fibrous adhesion. The disease can be classified into primary and secondary cases.
