Characteristics A blockage in the lining of the appendix that results in

infection is the likely cause of appendicitis. The bacteria multiply rapidly, causing the appendix to

become inflamed, swollen and filled with pus. This blockage leads to increased pressures within the

appendix, decreased blood flow to the tissues of the appendix, & bacterial growth inside the appendix causing inflammation.

The combination of inflammation, reduced blood flow to the appendix and distention of the appendix causes tissue injury and tissue death.
