AB The  absence  of  leukocytosis  or  the  presence  of  diarrhea  does  not  rule  out  appendicitis.Appendicitis  is  a  clinical  diagnosis,  with  imaging  aiding  in  atypical  presentations  or  cases  of  diagnostic  uncertainty.Rapid  diagnosis  and  early  surgical  intervention  help  to  avoid  complications  associated  with  rupture.Intravenous  antibiotics  should  be  administered  if  perforation  is  likely  or  has  occurred.
