Background: When cirrhosis and ascites are present, a very common bacterial infection known as spontaneous peritonitis (SBP) often develops. This condition must be early diagnosed treated to reduce morbidity mortality. Objective: To assess the frequency of Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis in Liver Cirrhosis patients with Ascites. Methodology: cross sectional study was carried out at department...

Secondary bacterial peritonitis, in comparison to spontaneous, presents with a surgically treatable intraabdominal source for infection such as a gastrointestinal perforation or abscess and is nearly always polymicrobial. We present a rare case of secondary bacterial peritonitis from Clostridium perfringens in an adult patient with noncirrhotic ascites and a Krukenberg tumor.

Spontaneous cryptococcal peritonitis is an uncommon infection that predominantly encountered in immunocompromised. Its clinical presentation is indistinguishable from spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and often results in fatal outcome. Liver disease is an under recognized predisposition for cryptococcal disease. We report a case of spontaneous cryptococcal peritonitis in HIV-negative, non-diab...
