We agree with the authors that bacterial infections are frequent in cirrhotic patients because of their defective defense mechanisms and that these infections precipitate decompensation of cirrhosis. ...
متن کاملPredictive Factors of Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis Caused by Gram-Positive Bacteria in Patients With Cirrhosis
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in patients with cirrhosis is typically caused by gram-negative bacteria. However, the number of SBP cases due to gram-positive bacteria is steadily increasing. To date, little is known about the predictive factors involved in SBP infections.We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients (>18 years) with SBP due to gram-positive and -negative bacte...
متن کاملSpontaneous bacterial peritonitis in asymptomatic outpatients with cirrhotic ascites.
The prevalence and natural history of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in asymptomatic patients with ascites secondary to cirrhosis is unknown. From a prospectively recorded database, we reviewed the clinical and laboratory features of all outpatients with cirrhotic ascites undergoing paracentesis between July 1994 and December 2000. The prevalence of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in the p...
متن کاملSpontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis with Sepsis Caused by Enterococcus hirae
Selective intestinal decontamination (SID) with norfloxacin has been widely used for the prophylaxis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) because of a high recurrence rate and preventive effect of SID for SBP. However, it does select resistant gut flora and may lead to SBP caused by unusual pathogens such as quinolone-resistant gram-negative bacilli or gram-positive cocci. Enterococcus hi...
متن کاملSpontaneous bacterial peritonitis from Salmonella: an unusual bacterium with unusual presentation
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with advanced cirrhosis and portal hypertension. While gram-negative rods and Enterococcus species are the common offending organisms, Salmonella has also been recognized as a rare and atypical offending organism. Atypical features of Salmonella SBP include both its occurrence in cirrhotic patients ...
