THERAPEUTIC CLASS
Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is probably the best-characterized infectious complication that develops in patients with cirrhosis and ascites [1, 2]. Since its first description in 1964, a large body of knowledge has accumulated regarding the clinical presentation, diagnosis, pathogenesis, treatment and prevention of SBP, and the prognosis of patients who develop this infection [1–3].
