It is the only organ in the body that has no constant position. Incidence of acute appendicitis parallels that of lymphoid development with peak incidence in early adulthood. It is rare before the age of two. Before puberty the incidence of acute appendicitis is equal in both sexes. But after puberty there is a slight male preponderance. The objective of this study was to evaluate assessment of accuracy of the combined use of modified Alvarado scoring system and ultrasound in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.Methods: Around 136 patient’s acute appendicitis were subjected to estimation of total leucocyte count and plain x-ray abdomen after thorough history evaluation and clinical examination before surgery. Alvarado score was found in all cases. All of them were operated on the day of admission itself and preoperative findings ...
