title: [Acute exacerbation of chronic recurrent appendicitis in childhood].
abstract: Retrospective analysis of 324 childhood appendectomies revealed microscopic signs of previous inflammation in 66 out of 111 acute cases and in 162 of 182 cases of "chronic" cases presented with a long history of recurrent abdominal pain. Thus a somewhat liberal indication for appendicectomy in childhood seems justified in the appropriate cases.
