Overview
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. [1]
- All cirrhotic patients might benefit from antibiotics if:
