Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix. Symptoms commonly include right lower abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever and decreased appetite. However, approximately 40% of people do not have these typical symptoms. Severe complications of a ruptured appendix include widespread, painful inflammation of the inner lining of the abdominal wall and sepsis.

AI overview

Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix that typically causes right lower abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, and loss of appetite, though about 40% of people experience atypical symptoms. It matters because if the appendix ruptures, it can lead to serious complications including widespread abdominal inflammation and sepsis.
