Abstract

Introduction: Streptococcus pneumoniae primary peritonitis is rare. The diagnosis is uneasy and the treatment is not standardised.

Case report: We report a single case of S. pneumoniae primary peritonitis needing surgical treatment.

Discussion: S. pneumoniae primary peritonitis can be medically treated. Surgery is needed in case of sepsis, associated digestive injuries or failure of medical treatment.
