Effect of age on the course of peritonitis. Рrіbram (Zentr. f. Chir., 1924, No. 36)
To anyone who has observed the clinical course of peritonitis in children and adults, a sharp difference is striking, indicating the different resistance of the peritoneum according to age. The case histories cited by Rribram show that the pediatric peritoneum has the ability to quickly eliminate infection by absorbing purulent exudate. In contrast, the adult peritoneum has negligible ability to resorb inflammatory exudates.
