Overview
SBP must be differentiated from other abdominal conditions presenting with fever and abdominal pain. It also has to be differentiated from secondary peritonitis, chemical peritonitis, peritoneal dialysis peritonitis, chronic tuberculous peritonitis.
Differentiating Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis from other Diseases
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis presents with fever and abdominal pain. Diseases presenting with similar features include:
- Peritonitis: Presents with abdominal pain and guarding which is seldom seen in spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
- Pyelonephritis : Pain in the costovertebral angle.
- Appendicitis: Presents with a typical history of radiation of pain from umbilicus to McBurney's point compared to diffuse pain in spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
