    AbstractIn three patients with abdominal pain, two men aged 63 and 18 years and a woman aged 46 years, the use of NSAIDs reduced the symptoms. They were in fact suffering from peritonitis due to gastrointestinal perforation, but the decision to operate was delayed because of the relatively mild presentation. The strong analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties of NSAIDs can reduce the symptoms, signs and laboratory findings of peritonitis.
