A member asked:
If there is an active source of infection within the peritoneal cavity, and it was treated with antibiotics, can symptoms go away and recur later?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Yes it can it depends somewhat on the original cause of the infection but if the underlying cause has not gone away certainly the infection can recur.
