Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP)
Definition
- Primary infection of the ascitic fluid
Pathophysiology
- Intestinal bacterial overgrowth with increased intestinal permeability leads to translocation to intestinal lymph notes and bloodstream, which results in hematogenous seeding to ascitic fluid
- Only occurs in portal hypertension, not in other causes of ascites
Bacteriology
- Escherichia coli (43%)
- Klebsiella pneumoniae (11%)
- Streptococcus pneumoniae (9%)
- Other streptococcal species (19%)
- Enterobacteriaceae (4%)
- Staphylococcus (3%)
- Pseudomonas (1%)
- Miscellaneous (10%)
- Aeromonas hydrophila, in Korean
Risk Factors
- Previous history of SBP
- Upper GI bleed
- Low sciatic protein
- Child-Pugh class
Presentation
- Asymptomatic in 10%
- Fever (70%)
- Abdominal pain (60%)
- Hepatic encephalopathy (50%)
- Abdominal tenderness, usually without rigidity (50%)
- Diarrhea (30%)
- Ileus (30%)
- Shock (20%)
- Hypothermia (15%)
Investigations
- Labs
- Ascitic fluid for cell count and culture
- Neutrophil count < 250 rules it out
- Culture usually monomicrobial
- Repeat paracentesis at 48h if ongoing concern
- Ascitic fluid for cell count and culture
- Imaging
- Other
Management
- Acute
- Ceftriaxone 1-2g IV q24h
- Chronic
- Prophylaxis after a single episode
- Septra SS PO daily
- Norfloxacin
- Prophylaxis after a single episode
- Some role for primary prophylaxis, I think?
Prognosis
- In-hospital mortality of about 33% in hospital
- 58% 6-month mortality
