Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis: An Update

Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1995
To describe spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in the context of currently accepted criteria for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.A review of SBP and its associated etiopathogenic factors is presented.Numerous studies on mechanisms of disease, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention are discussed.

Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 2013
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is the most frequent infection in patients with cirrhosis during hospitalization and is associated with high acute and long-term mortality. Diagnosis is made by paracentesis with determination of neutrophil count in ascitic fluid. Empirical antibiotic therapy must be initiated immediately.

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1984
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis should be considered in the evaluation of any patient with acute abdominal complaints, especially in the presence of preexistent ascites. Paracentesis is indicated in all suspected cases of spontaneous peritonitis in order to obtain necessary studies, including microbial cultures. Broad-spectrum antibiotic coverage has

Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis

Hepatology, 1982
Forty–three patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) between 1973 and 1978 were identified. Criteria for SBP included a positive ascites culture and polymorphonuclear cell concentration greater than 250 cells per mm3.

Treatment of Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis

Digestive Diseases, 2015
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is an infection of patients with cirrhosis and ascites. This peculiarity is due to the frequent intestinal translocation that allows bacteria to cross the intestinal barrier, colonizing the ascitic fluid. In cirrhosis, SBP is inferior only to urinary tract infections.
