Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a serious complication in liver cirrhosis patients. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes due to often subtle symptoms and poor prognosis.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Internal Medicine

Context:

  • Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a frequent complication in patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites.
  • Systematic investigations since the 1980s have significantly advanced understanding of SBP.
  • Current research focuses on SBP therapy and prophylaxis.

Purpose:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis based on existing literature.
  • To consolidate current knowledge on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, symptomatology, diagnosis, and therapy of SBP.

Summary:

  • SBP presents with subtle clinical symptoms, making early diagnosis challenging.
  • The prognosis for patients with SBP is often poor.
  • Prompt diagnosis and adequate therapy are essential for managing SBP.
