Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix,a 3 1/2-inch-long tube of tissue that extends from the large intestine. It contains specialized tissue that can produce antibodies.

Appendicitis is a medical emergency that requires prompt surgery to remove the appendix. Left untreated, an inflamed appendix will eventually burst, or perforate, spilling infectious materials into the abdominal cavity.
