Impact of Quinolone Prophylaxis on Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis and Mortality in Cirrhosis Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials [PDF]

JGH Open
Background Cirrhosis is a major global health concern due to its progressive nature and high risk of complications, including spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), which significantly increases mortality. Quinolone antibiotics, especially norfloxacin,

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis [PDF]

DMW - Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift, 2004
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis occurs in 30% of patients with ascites due to cirrhosis leading to high morbidity and mortality rates. The pathogenesis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis is related to altered host defenses observed in end-stage liver disease, overgrowth of microorganisms, and bacterial translocation from the intestinal lumen to ...

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis [PDF]

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2007
AbstractSpontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is the infection of ascitic fluid in the absence of any intra-abdominal, surgically treatable source of infection. Despite timely diagnosis and treatment its reported incidence in ascitic patients varies between 7–30%. Ascitic paracentesis remains the chief diagnostic procedure.

Listerial Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis [PDF]

Cureus, 2022
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a severe complication of ascites often seen in advanced hepatic disease that is most commonly caused by Gram-negative bacilli. Here, we report a rare case of Listeria monocytogenes SBP, diagnosed by peritoneal fluid culture and responsive to ampicillin, in a patient with portal hypertension secondary to ...

Targeted decrease of portal hepatic pressure gradient improves ascites control after TIPS

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
The river diagram demonstrates that after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt insertion (TIPS) the majority of patients without ascites and 50% of the patients with ascites detectable at ultrasound, show the best response in the long term follow‐up.

SPONTANEOUS BACTERIAL PERITONITIS

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 1992
SBP is an infection of ascites that occurs in the absence of a local infectious source. It is mainly a complication of cirrhotic ascites, with a prevalence of 15% to 19% (when culture-negative cases are included). Gram-negative enteric bacteria are the causative agents in more than 70% of cases.

[Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis]

Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 2012
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.

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...
