Clinical and Laboratory Forms of Conteporary Manifestation of Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis

1. Abstract 1.1. Objective: Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP) is a big complication of severe complication “ascites” in patients with cirrhosis. There are three clinical forms of SBP (1982) – latent, classical and fulminant. Classic symptoms of peritonitis in SBP are usually absent. Diagnosis of SBP is established if polymorphonuclears (PMNs) in ascitic fluid are >250/mm3 …
