We investigated whether spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in cirrhosis is a recurrent process and attempted to identify possible predictors of recurrence in 75 consecutive cirrhotics who had recovered from a first episode of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis between January, 1981 and December, 1984
Cefotaxime is the most commonly used antibiotic for initial therapy of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in cirrhosis. However, since the introduction of cefotaxime no study has been performed to investigate factors influencing prognosis in cirrhotic patients with this type of infection. In this stu
Patients with bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine developed spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) more frequently than patients without bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine. The objective of this study was to determine whether the incidences of small intestine dysmotility and bacter
