Rebound tenderness is typically associated with acute peritonitis and suggests irritation of the peritoneum. This sign is elicited when pressure applied to the abdomen is suddenly released, causing sharp pain. The presence of rebound tenderness is a significant clinical indicator used to assess the severity of peritonitis. Other symptoms listed, such as polyuria and jaundice, relate to different medical conditions and are not direct indicators of peritonitis.
