What is appendicitis?
When the inner lining of the vermiform appendix gets inflamed, it is known as appendicitis. Deemed as one of the most common causes of abdominal pain, appendicitis is a clinical emergency.
Causes
The obstruction of the appendiceal lumen causes appendicitis. Lymphoid hyperplasia is the cause of luminal obstruction. Lymphoid hyperplasia develops secondary to inflammatory bowel disease or IBD. Obstruction releases pressure in the lumen. It also enlarges due to infections (bacterial, fungal and viral), fecal stasis, fecaliths (fecal debris and calcium salts are layered within the appendix). Other causes associated with the condition are gastroenteritis, Crohn’s disease, measles, amebiasis and mononeucliosis.

Medical management
Antibiotics are administered to eliminate infection and avoid complications. Penicillins are considered as bactericidal antibiotics working against sensitive organisms to inhibit the synthesis of mucopeptide and the cell wall. Zosyn containing piperacillin and tazobactam sodium acts against gram-positive, gram-negative anaerobic bacteria. Other anti-infective agents are ampicillin, sulbactam and ticarcillin.
