Misty, was rushed to surgery because she had a ruptured, infected appendix. What type of infection did she have?
A
exogenous
B
endogenous
C
aerobic
D
anaerobic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bacteroides was isolated from over 90% of the wound infections. In the patients with perforated appendicitis where effective chemotherapy was given the incidence of wound infection was 15% whereas in untreated or inappropriately treated patients it was over 50%.

Detailed explanation-2: -If your appendix has burst and infection has spread, you may need an open appendectomy. A laparoscopic appendectomy may cause less pain and scarring than an open appendectomy. For either type of surgery, the scar is often hard to see once it has healed. Both types of surgery have low risk of complications.
