| peritonitis deformans | A chronic peritonitis in which thickening of the membrane and contracting adhesions cause shortening of the mesentery and kinking and retraction of the intestines. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| peritonitis encapsulans | A localised fibrous or adhesive peritonitis remaining after a generalised peritonitis has nearly disappeared; it is marked by pain, constipation, and a palpable tumour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chyle peritonitis | Peritonitis due to free chyle in the peritoneal cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| circumscribed peritonitis | Peritonitis confined to a demarcated region of the peritoneal cavity. Synonym: circumscribed peritonitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| productive peritonitis | Inflammation of the peritoneum with thickening of the membrane. Synonym: productive peritonitis. Origin: pachy-+ peritonitis (05 Mar 2000) |
| diaphragmatic peritonitis | Peritonitis affecting mainly the peritoneal surface of the diaphragm. (05 Mar 2000) |

| infectious peritonitis virus, feline | A species of coronavirus infecting cats of all ages and commonly found in catteries and zoos. Cats are often found carrying the virus but only a small proportion develop disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tuberculous peritonitis | <radiology> Aetiology: haematogenous spread, rupture of mesenteric node, Types: wet: exudative ascites, dry: tuberculous adenopathy and adhesions, fibrotic: abdominal mass with separation and fixation of bowel, CT: high density ascites (30 HU), peripancreatic and mesenteric adenopathy with low density, centres (caseous necrosis), irregular soft tissue density of omemtum, ** tuberculosis: gastrointestinal manifestations (12 Dec 1998) |
| feline infectious peritonitis | Common coronavirus infection of cats caused by the feline infectious peritonitis virus (infectious peritonitis virus, feline). The disease is characterised by a long incubation period, fever, depression, loss of appetite, wasting, and progressive abdominal enlargement. Infection of cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage appears to be essential in fip pathogenesis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fibrocaseous peritonitis | Peritonitis characterised by caseation and fibrosis, usually caused by the tubercle bacillus. (05 Mar 2000) |
