Definition & Epidemiology

– Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP)  an infection of ascitic fluid without


a definitive intra-abdominal source that can be surgically treated, a common
complication in patients with cirrhosis and ascites
– The incidence of SBP ranges from 10% to 30%
– Mortality from 10% to 46% in hospitalised patients.
Pathophysiology
Classification of SBP

Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2015; 41: 1116-1131


Distinguishing Secondary Peritonitis from SBP

 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
Clinical Setting of SBP

Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2015; 41: 1116-1131


Bacteriology
 Gram negative bacilli
(GNB) are the major cause
of SBP.
 E.coli was found in the
majority of patients with
SBP as reported by Conn
et al.(66%) and Kerr et al.
(72%)

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%)

Nosocomial SBP had a poorer outcome compared


with community-acquired SBP
The most common etiology of SBP :

1. 1997-1998 period : E coli (36.11%)


2. 2002-2003 period : Staphylococcus
coagulase-negative (35.55%)
3. 2014-2015 period : E coli (23,1%)
Diagnosis

 SBP is not a clinical diagnosis, and it cannot be made without ascitic


fluid analysis. The diagnosis achieved in the absence of any apparent
etiology of infection or secondary peritonitis

Symptoms and signs


 Fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, paralytic ileus, encepha
lopathy/ altered sensorium
 Hypotension, hyper/hypo-thermia, leukocytosis, acidosis
Indications for Performing Diagnostic Paracentesis
Approach to the Diagnosis and
Treatment of SBP
Treatment

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

 After start IV antibiotics  repeat diagnostic paracentesis after 48 h 


ascites PMN reduced by at least 25%
 Yes : continue IV antibiotics minimum 5 days
 No : Broad antibiotic spectrum (broader spectrum agents such as C
efepime, Piperacillin-tazobactam, Carbapenem; addition anaerobic c
overage agent such as metronidazole), investigate secondary perito
nitis (should undergo surgical intervention)
3rd Generations cephalosporins are still an effective
option for the treatment of CA-SBP
Third generation cephalosporin seems to provide adequate
empirical treatment in patients with community acquired
and healthcare-associated SBP
Guideline Recommendations for Treatment of SBP
Therapy for SBP with Special Considerations

Standard therapy : Complicated community acquired SBP


Treatment with IV Albumin plus Cefotaxime in Patients with SBP

Take Home Message

 SBP is severe infection with high mortality (10%-46%)

 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.

 First line treatment with a third-generation cephalosporin plus Albumin IV can


reduce mortality of patients with SBP.

 Quinolone (Ciprofloxacin 500mg PO daily) is the 1st regimen for SBP prophylaxis.
