dc.description.abstractSpontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP) is one of the complicated infections in patients with cirrhosis and ascites which can be fatal if not diagnosed and treated. This is a record based observational study using the data of all patients admitted with established cirrhosis of liver with ascites. Aim of the study was to find out the incidence of SBP in cirrhosis patients and also to study the clinical profile of SBP. Thirty nine patients’ data were included in the study. Three patients had classic SBP, one patient had Culture Negative Neutrocytic Ascites (CNNA) and two had bacterascites. Patients were treated with injection cefotaxime (2 gm) 8hourly for 5 days and clinical and laboratory parameters were evaluated.en_US
