A Study Of Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis In Egyptian Patients With Chronic Liver Disease
HEba Mohammed Mohammed Abdella;
Abstract
Liver cirrhosis and ascites are common problems among Egyptians specially farmers. The cause of chronic liver disease is multi factorial including schistosomiasis and/or viral hepatitis.
Spontaneous ascitic infection is an infection in a previously sterile ascitic fluid with no apparent intra abdominal source of infection.
In our study, sixty-two patients with chronic liver disease complicated by ascites were studied to find out the frequency of occurrence of spontaneous ascitic infection, and the most important 9linical and laboratory risk factors related to its occurrence. Comparison of two culture methods for diagnosis of SBP was carried out.
Full history, thorough clinical examination and routine laboratory investigations including urine and stool examination, blood picture, ESR, liver & kidney function tests, HBs Ag & HCV Ab together with chemical, bacteriological & cytological examination of the ascitic fluid were carried out. Abdominal ultrasonography was
also done. •
