Overview

Secondary Prevention

  • All patients who have survived an episode of SBP should receive long-term prophylaxis with daily norfloxacin (or trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole) because this is the most data-supported indication for long-term outpatient prophylaxis to prevent future episodes ( 40-70% risk of recurrence in 1 year ). [1]
  • All cirrhotic patients might benefit from antibiotics if:
    • Ascitic fluid protein <1.0 g/dL[2]. Patients with fluid protein <15 g/L and either Child-Pugh score of at least 9 or impaired renal function may also benefit.
    • Previous SBP[3]
