Peritonitis cure?: Acute peritonitis can be treated effectively. Key to effective and often life saving treatment is early detection and often hospitalization and treatment with IV antibiotics. If acute peritonitis is suspected, there is no time to delay. Follow the exact instruction of your doc straight away, and this will result in the best possible outcome.
