Definition & Epidemiology
PMN count > 250 cells/mm3 with > 2 of the following ascitic fluid findings
provides strong evidence of secondary bacterial peritonitis:
– Total protein concentration > 1 g/dL
– Glucose concentration <50 mg/dL
– LDH greater than the upper limit of normal for serum
Polymicrobial ascites fluid culture
Mortality is 100% if no surgical intervention

Gram negative bacteria were the major pathogen
involved in SBP in cirrhotic patients. E.coli was the
major pathogen (24.3%), Klebsiella pneumoniae
(12%), and Enterococcus faecium (10.5%)
Antibiotic
3rd generation broad spectrum cephalosporins are the agents of choice for SBP treatment.
Cefotaxime has excellent ascitic fluid penetration and achieves sterilisation in 94% of cases after
initial antibiotic dosing.
– Cefotaxime 2 g every 8 h (6 g/day) is considered the standard regimen
Alternative options include amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and quinolones such as ciprofloxacin or
ofloxacin
Switch therapy
Patients with SBP can be adequately treated with oral antibiotic after a short course of IV antibio
tic for infection resolution and more cost effective.
Treatment
Gram negative bacilli (GNB) are the major cause of SBP (53%).
Paracentesis is main approach diagnostic tools for SBP within sign of peritonitis and
infection, hepatic encephalopathy state, new onset of renal failure.
Quinolone (Ciprofloxacin 500mg PO daily) is the 1st regimen for SBP prophylaxis.
