In medicine, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SB) is a form of peritonitis that occurs in patient with ascites.[1] Monomicrobial nonneutrocytic bacterascites is a positive culture for a pure growth of a single type of organism but the neutrophil count is less than 250 cells/mm3.[2] About a third of patients with monomicrobial nonneutrocytic bacterascites will progress to SBP.[2]

Etiology/cause

Proton pump inhibitors may be associated with SBP.[3]

Diagnosis

Physical examination

On physical examination, most patients have mild abdominal pain.[4] The impression of the physician performing the physical examination may not be accurate:[4]

Regarding individual signs and symptoms:

Ascitic fluid analysis

Performance and interpretation of the paracentesis has been systematically reviewed by the Rational Clinical Examination.[5]

Treatment

The role of antibiotics is not clear.[6]

Oral treatment

"Oral quinolones could be considered an option for those with less severe manifestations" according to the Cochrane Collaboration.[6]

Randomized controlled trials of oral antibiotics for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis[7][8][9][10][11]
