Which condition indicates inflammation or infection of diverticuli?

Diverticulitis is the condition that specifically indicates inflammation or infection of diverticuli, which are small pouches that can form in the walls of the intestines, primarily the colon. When these pouches become inflamed or infected, it leads to diverticulitis. This condition often presents with symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, and changes in bowel habits.

Diverticulosis, on the other hand, refers to the presence of diverticuli without inflammation or infection. It is often asymptomatic and is considered a precursor to diverticulitis. Choledocholithiasis involves the presence of gallstones in the common bile duct, which is unrelated to diverticular disease. Similarly, pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas and does not relate to the diverticula in the intestines. Thus, diverticulitis is the term that accurately describes the condition of inflamed or infected diverticuli.
