ABSTRACT
Appendicular peritonitis involving
Streptococcus pneumoniae is rare. We repor t here the case of a 35 year old
woman with appendicular peritonitis, during which a strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae was isolated. The role of
intraoperative microbiological sampling in the management of appendicular peritonitis is debated. However,
cul ture on appropriate media remains the only way to identify unusual infectious agents or bacteria of
epidemiological interest, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae . This identification makes it possible to adjust
antibiotic therapy in a targeted manner, often d ifferent from the initial probabilistic treatment.
