Appendicitis?: Do you mean how long can you live with appendicitis? Appendicitis is typically an acute, short term condition that if not treated correctly will pretty quickly lead to rupture of the appendix, peritonitis, and death. It would be very rare to have "chronic" appendicitis; although sometimes being on antibiotics can suppress the process for a time.
