Abstract

Characteristics that make spontaneous bacterial peritonitis clinically noteworthy are its increasing prevalence, its tendency to present with few reliable clinical signs and its high mortality rate. Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis almost always occurs in the presence of ascites, and analysis of ascitic fluid is essential for diagnosis.
