title: A Rare Case of Secondary Bacterial Peritonitis from Clostridium perfringens in an Adult Patient with Noncirrhotic Ascites and a Krukenberg Tumor: Report of a Case.
abstract: Secondary bacterial peritonitis, in comparison to spontaneous, presents with a surgically treatable intraabdominal source for infection such as a gastrointestinal perforation or abscess and is nearly always polymicrobial. We present a rare case of secondary bacterial peritonitis from Clostridium perfringens in an adult patient with noncirrhotic ascites and a Krukenberg tumor.
