title: [Treatment in primary Streptococcus pneumoniae peritonitis in adult: a case report and review of the literature].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Streptococcus pneumoniae primary peritonitis is rare. The diagnosis is uneasy and the treatment is not standardised.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a single case of S. pneumoniae primary peritonitis needing surgical treatment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  S. pneumoniae primary peritonitis can be medically treated. Surgery is needed in case of sepsis, associated digestive injuries or failure of medical treatment.
