Overview
Differentiating Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis from other Diseases
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis presents as fever and pain in the abdomen. These symptoms can be seen in other abdominal conditions also.
- Peritonitis - this presents as abdominal pain with guarding which is seldom seen in spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
- Pyelonephritis - this presents as pain in the costovertebral angle.
- Appendicitis - this presents with a typical history of radiation of pain from umbilicus to McBurney's point compared to diffuse pain in spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
