Infantile appendicitis: Importance of diagnostic accuracy and a lowered threshold for computed tomography

Appendicitis in the infant population is rare and often misdiagnosed. It can be associated with perforation and sepsis and necessitates expedient identification when present in a sick infant. We describe a case of perforated appendicitis in a 10-month-old infant after diagnostic workup ruled out com...
