Revision as of 16:58, 26 December 2010
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]
- sensitivity = 76%
- specificity = 34%
Regarding individual signs and symptoms:
- Fever over 100.4°on physical examination
- sensitivity = 18%
- specificity = 90%
- "Any abdominal pain or tenderness" on physical examination
- sensitivity = 94%
- specificity = 15%
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]
| Trial | Patients | Comparison | Outcome | Results | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intervention | Control | ||||
| Tuncer[7] 2003 |
53 patients | Oral ciprofloxacin versus one of two IV third-generation cephalosporins | SBP resolution | 84% | 76% and 83% |
| Ricart[8] 2000 |
48 patients | Oral amoxicillin-clavulanic acid for an average of 2.6 days then orallly for an average of 5.6 days versus cefotaxime IV for an average of 8 days | Hospital survival | 90% | 83% |
