Overview
Classification
- Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis is one of the variants of ascitic fluid infections.
- Classification of ascitic fluid infections is based on neutrophil count and culture report.
Type of Infection | Bacterial Culture Report | Neutrophil Count (cells/mm3) | Comments | |
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis | Positive usually for one organism | ≥250 | Patients with cirrhosis and ascites in the presence or absence of symptoms and signs | |
Culture negative neutrocytic ascites (CNNA) | Negative | ≥250 | Poor culture technique and prior antibiotics or low opsonic activity in ascitic fluid. Commonly encountered phenotype and requires antibiotic therapy | |
Monomicrobial bacterascites | Positive for one organism | <250 | Ascitic fluid infection which may resolve spontaneously or progress to SBP. Mortality is similar to SBP and should be treated as SBP. | |
Secondary bacterial peritonitis | Positive for many microbes | ≥250 | Intraperitoneal source of infection e.g. diverticulitis | |
Polymicrobial bacterascites | Positive for many microbes | <250 | Usually due to needle perforation |
