peritonitis
Let an agent explain peritonitis, relay causes, warning signs and general management from surgical and medical sources, describe the forms the registry aliases name, and distinguish peritonitis from appendicitis, gastroenteritis, pancreatitis and the misfiled registry parent skin symptom, routing suspected cases to emergency care immediately.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain peritonitis, relay causes, warning signs and general management from surgical and medical sources, describe the forms the registry aliases name, and distinguish peritonitis from appendicitis, gastroenteritis, pancreatitis and the misfiled registry parent skin symptom, routing suspected cases to emergency care immediately.
Inflammation of the peritoneum, the membrane lining the abdominal cavity, usually from infection after perforation of an abdominal organ, as secondary peritonitis, or spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in people with cirrhosis, with specific forms such as tuberculous, gonococcal and Bacteroides fragilis peritonitis, pelvic peritonitis in women often from pelvic inflammatory disease, and non-infectious inflammatory conditions such as sclerosing mesenteritis; peritonitis is a surgical and medical emergency. The model routes symptoms to emergency care.
What it is for: Not applicable; a condition.
It can be route emergencies first; explain causes and forms; relay general management; distinguish related conditions.
Distinguishing features
Peritoneal inflammation
Usually infectious
Medical emergency
Many causes
What it looks like
Not a visible object; severe abdominal pain and rigidity.
Physical character
main types: primary, secondary, tertiary list
spontaneous bacterial peritonitis: complication of cirrhosis with ascites note
registry parent: skin and integumentary tissue symptom, misfiled note
How it is recognised
Inflammation of the peritoneum
Pelvic, tuberculous, gonococcal and Bacteroides fragilis peritonitis, sclerosing mesenteritis
Appendicitis is organ inflammation that can cause peritonitis; gastroenteritis affects the gut lining; pancreatitis is pancreatic

- The registry parent skin and integumentary tissue symptom is misfiled and should be reviewed
