The opsonic activity of 60 ascitic fluids from 47 patients was measured using a standard opsonophagocytic assay. Curve analysis of the opsonic activity compared to the ascitic fluid concentration of total protein, total hemolytic complement, CS and C, yielded correlation coefficients of 0.84 (p < O.

Cirrhotic ascites are highly susceptible t o spontaneous bacterial infection, whereas carcinogenic ascites are seldom infected. This difference may be explained by differences in their chemotactic, bactericidal and/or opsomic activities. We measured the chemotactic and opsonic activity of ascitic fl

To assess the risk of development of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in relation to ascitic fluid opsonic activity, routine admission abdominal paracentesis was performed on 119 patients during 141 hospitalizations. Paracentesis was repeated if evidence of peritonitis developed during the hospital

A review of patients with bacterial peritonitis and ascites revealed six patients with gastrointestinal tract perforation into their ascitic fluid and 33 episodes of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in 32 patients. Signs and symptoms were not helpful in differentiating the two groups; however, asci

We read with interest the recent article by Runyon on diagnosis and treatment of ascites. 1 Surprisingly, determination of cholesterol in ascitic fluid was classified as being unhelpful (table 3 of the article). The value of cholesterol in the differentiation between cirrhotic and malignant ascites
