HI. Appendix is a very small part of the intestinal system which when infected is usually removed to avoid complications of rupture , peritonitis and septicemia. Appendix is attached to the area where the small intestine enters the large intestine. This is the area which gets infected and is called typhlitis. The infection of this area mimics appendicitis. A course of an antibiotic, metronidazole, probiotic, rest will cure it.
