Appendicitis is a condition due to inflammation of the appendix, a three and a half inches long tube of tissue. It extends from the large intestine and produces antibodies. If it becomes inflamed, then the person has to undergo a surgery to remove the appendix immediately. If it is not treated properly, then it will burst or spill out the infectious materials to the abdominal cavity. This may lead to peritonitis. Peritonitis is a condition in which there is an inflammation of the lining of the abdominal cavity. It may become fatal and should be treated quickly with antibiotics.
