This article is an automated iThenticate originality/similarity report accompanying a submission titled “Haemophilus influenzae in acute appendicitis,” providing a similarity index (19%) and listing primary source matches with overlapping text percentages. At a high level, it summarizes the results of a text-comparison tool rather than presenting new experimental data, clinical population characteristics, or microbiology findings. A major limitation is that the report itself does not describe the study’s methods, sample, or results and therefore cannot be used to draw conclusions about causative bacteria in appendicitis. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Read from the paper's body, not the abstract. Not a substitute for reading the paper. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

Appendicitis, typically caused by appendiceal lumen obstruction, is a prevalent abdominal surgical emergency worldwide. While most cases involve Enterobacterales, Haemophilus influenzae, primarily known for upper respiratory infections, is infrequently associated with gastrointestinal infections. This article presents an exceptional case of acute appendicitis caused by both Haemophilus influenza and Enterobacter cloacae in a 15-year-old child, highlighting the significance of recognizing uncommon pathogens in appendicitis and emphasizing the necessity for thorough microbiological investigations to refine diagnostic approaches.

Review Tool reports UNDERSTANDING AND CONTEXTUALIZING THE REPORTS Readers of these automated manuscript Review Tool reports are encouraged to use them to support them in performing their own assessment and ‘health check’ on a preprint prior to it completing peer review. However, these should only be used as a guide, read within the overall context of the article itself, and should never replace full peer review. Please ensure you read the article fully alongside these and familiarize yourself with the tools and how they work, using the links provided below. These reports are published under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License ITHENTICATE® REPORT iThenticate® (https://www.ithenticate.com) checks the submitted article against an extensive database of articles from the internet and scholarly publications and highlights where similar sentences or phrases have been used previously, including in the author’s own published work. Each individual match is given a percentage score based on how much it overlaps with the previously existing work, and an overall similarity score is given. The report generated from this are included here for transparency and can be cited independently using the DOI below. • FAQs: https://www.ithenticate.com/products/faqs • Help pages: https://help.turnitin.com/ithenticate/ithenticate-user/ithenticate-user.htm#TheSimilarityReport How to cite the iThenticate report for this article: ADIL FZ, BENAISSA E, BEN LAHLOU Y , LAAMARA L, BSSAIBIS F, et al. iThenticate report for: Haemophilus influenzae in acute appendicitis.
