Although meconium peritonitis is a rare condition, the mortality rate can be as high as 40%. Meconium peritonitis is a result of intestinal perforation in utero, which leads to dense inflammation in the peritoneal cavity. The fetus has relatively immature peritoneal defense mechanisms, so the cause of this dense inflammation is unclear. The peritoneal macrophage is a key cell in the peritoneal inflammatory response in adults. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if sterile meconium had a direct stimulatory effect on the peritoneal macrophage.
