“… 9 A recent trial of primary norfloxacin prophylaxis effectively prevents bacterial infections in patients with ACLF that recruited 172 patients in India. 67 Mortality also significantly improved in the treatment arm, 68 but more patients developed candiduria in the norfloxacin group. In contrast, the AntibioCor study of 284 patients with severe alcohol-associated hepatitis showed that the addition of amoxicillin/clavulanate to prednisolone reduced infection rates but did not extend survival and the authors do not recommend prophylaxis for these patients.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
