If Your Appendix Bursts, It May Lead to a Life-Threatening

Question

If your appendix bursts, it may lead to a life-threatening condition called
A) peritonitis.
B) diverticulitis.
C) rickets.
D) osteoporosis.
E) cirrhosis.

Accepted Answer

A burst appendix can lead to a serious infection of the lining of the abdominal cavity called peritonitis, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. Diverticulitis is another condition that can cause abdominal pain, but it involves inflammation of small pouches in the colon. Rickets and osteoporosis are conditions that affect bone health, and cirrhosis is a condition that affects the liver. None of these conditions are related to a burst appendix.
