*This code the following types of intra-peritoneal infections:

**Generalized ("regular") acute peritonitis

**Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP) -- this is an entity that occurs in people with pre-existing ascites

**Abscesses that aren't included in the Alternative codes listed below, thus included in ''this'' code are:

***"intra-abdominal" or "abdominal" or "intra-pelvic" or "pelvic" abscess that don't have any additional information about where it originated (e.g. as below, abscesses related to diverticulitis or appendicitis, and a few others, have their own specific codes)

**Retroperitoneal abscess

*This code EXCLUDES the specific causes/types of abdominal or pelvic infections as listed below

*Often abdominal paracentesis is done to test the fluid for WBC and cultures

*A diagnosis of SBP is usually made by finding polymorphonuclear cell (PMN, also referred to as neutrophils) count in the ascitic fluid is ≥250 (or 500) cells/mm3, and secondary causes of peritonitis are excluded
