Abstract
ABSTRACT: We report an unusual case of bile peritonitis in a child.
The literature on bile peritonitis is reviewed, and its treatment
is discussed. According to the literature, bile peritonitis
has a good prognosis provided operation is early.
Patients in whom bile is septic at the time of surgery have
an increased morbidity and a considerable mortality.
