Abstract：
:Diverticulitis represents a spectrum of clinical entities ranging from minimal pericolitis in the adjacent mesentery to uncontrolled intra-abdominal sepsis and septic shock. The presentation most often described is left lower quadrant abdominal pain, fever, chills, and left lower quadrant tenderness associated with a mass. Unusual presentations occur when infection tracts to distant locations. Diverticulitis is a common cause of intra-abdominal sepsis associated with high morbidity and mortality. The pathogenesis of intra-abdominal sepsis is not well understood, but likely involves circulating host inflammatory mediators. The role of computed tomography in the early diagnosis of diverticulitis is increasing and supersedes barium enema in the assessment of the extracolonic extent of disease. Also, computed tomographic-directed percutaneous drainage of intra-abdominal abscesses is, in most cases, as effective as surgical drainage. Predictably, the micro-organisms involved are representatives from the commensal flora of the lower gastrointestinal tract. These bacteria are usually sensitive to a wide range of antimicrobial agents that are effective against facultative and obligate anaerobic gram-negative bacilli. Surgical intervention is reserved for those individuals who do not respond to therapy, or for generalized peritonitis, uncontrolled sepsis, free viscus perforation, and fistulas.
