A 29-year-old man had abdominal pain for 24 hours. This and the results of an abdominal examination were typical of acute appendicitis. He had suffered sinusitis for two weeks. At operation, the appendix was normal; there was an abscess in the cecal wall, the exudate of which grew pneumococci. Incidental appendectomy was done and the patient was treated successfully with lincomycin hydrochloride, and later, cephalexin monohydrate. It is possible that the typhlitis was secondary to the upper respiratory infection.

In this case report, abdominal symptoms simulating acute appendicitis were due to recurrent torsion of an intra-abdominal testicle. Cryptorchidism frequently goes unnoted. Most undescended testicles are in the groin and easily palpable. If not, they can be absent, retroperitoneal or intra-abdominal. An intra-abdominal testicle is more likely to occur on the right than the left.

Influenza-B virus was identified in 102 children admitted to hospital during two epidemics in 1973 and 1974, enzbling the symptomatology of infection with this virus to be assessed in detail for the first time. Abdominal pain, often severe enough to require differentiation from acute appendicitis, emerged as a dominant symptom, especially in older children. Respiratory symptoms were often insignificant, although the lower respiratory tract was sometimes involved. Other symptoms in some children included convulsions and acute myalgia. The immunofluorescent method of virus diagnosis was found to be reliable for influenza B, except in a few cases ehere nasopharyngeal secretions were scanty, giving 97-5 percent copositivity with standard isolation techniques. The rapid result provided by immunofluorescence was helpful in clinical diagnosis and management and also in the control of hospital cross-infection.

A prospective study of 444 consecutive patients diagnosed as having acute appendicitis was carried out in a district general hospital. The appendix was acutely inflamed, gangrenous, or perforated in 346 patients. Diagnostic error, 22% overall, was twice as common in females as in males. Organisms were isolated from the outer appendix wall in 117 patients, isolation increasing with the severity of inflammation. 12% of children under 11 had mesentric adenitis, 10% of all females had gynaecological lesions, and 14% of patients over 50 had acute diverticulitis. In only 6% of patients was no abnormality found at operation, and in every case the disorder was dealt with through the gridiron incision.

Acute inflammatory complications of jejuno-ileal pseudodiverticulosis that necessitate surgical intervention are attended by excessive mortality rates of 20 to 40 per cent primarily because of delay in diagnosis. Early diagnosis is confused by the frequent coexistence of other gastrointestinal pathology, most commonly perforated gastric or duodenal ulcers, colonic pseudodiverticulitis, and acute appendicitis with rupture. Resection of pseudodiverticula-containing segments with primary reanastomosis is the preferred method of surgical management for perforation, bleeding, and obstruction. Recommendations are made for more accurate and earlier detection and management.

Laparoscopy was performed in 223 patients with acute pelvic pain but without a definite diagnosis. The clinically suspected diagnosis was confirmed by laparoscopy in only 57 patients (25%). Laparotomy was thus avoided in 145 patients (65%). The endoscopic findings in the three clinical entities included here are presented: tubal pregnancy, acute appendicitis or torsion of adnexal mass. This study emphasizes the poor correlation between the clinical diagnosis based on history, pelvic examination and physical signs, and the final laparoscopic findings. The value of laparoscopy in evaluation of acute pelvic disease is stressed.

The authors performed 2000 laparoscopies in females with chronic and acute pelvic pain. In 399 cases an appendectomy had been done before. Among 478 patients with acute pelvic pain an acute appendicitis was found in 26 women by laparoscopy.

In cases of acute adnexitis laparoscopy is an excellent diagnostic method. By this way we found in 182 patients with clinical symptoms only 50,5% acute inflammatory diseases of adnexa. On the other hand there was a normal genital status in 18,1%, acute appendicitis in 9,9%, ectopic pregnancy in 7,7% etc. Clinical examinations and second-look-laparoscopy 6--8 weeks after ending the treatment cases of salpingitis alone showed the best results. Patients with more extensive inflammatory reactions had more adhesions too. An early diagnosis and treatment under hospital conditions is recommended. We have good experiences with immediately operation in cases of suppurative inflammation of the adnexa, which are only diagnosticate by laparoscopy.

Phosphatase activity of neutrophils was studied in 342 patients directed to the hospital with the diagnosis of acute appendicitis, and in 56 healthy children. The index of phosphatase activity of neutrophils (IPAN) was found to be considerably increased in all forms of appendicitis in childhood. An intensity of the reaction depends on the form and terms, elapsed since the disease onset. The determination of IPAN in the complex with clinical findings could be utilized for the differential diagnosis purposes in investigation of patients suspected of acute appendicitis, while in the postoperative period - for estimating a gravity of the course and prognosis of the disease.
