Antibiotics for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in cirrhotic patients

Abstract

Analysis 3.3. Comparison 3 Short-term cefotaxime versus long-term cefotaxime, Outcome 3 Recurrence of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.

Culture-Negative Fibrinous Peritonitis in a Postpartum Female

“…However, antibiotic therapy is indicated for patients who have any of the following: temperature above 37.8 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit), abdominal pain and/or tenderness, altered mental status, or ascitic fluid polymorphonuclear leukocyte count over 250 cells/microL. With regard to SBP in particular, third-generation cephalosporins such as cefotaxime are the preferred initial antibiotic [ 8 ]. Carbapenems are the second-line broad-spectrum class of choice, though they are typically reserved for patients in critical conditions or with severe disease.…”

Comparison of Cefotaxime with Ofloxacin in Treatment of Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis in Liver Cirrhosis Patients

“…Chavez et al 17 in their systematic review analyzed different types of antibiotic therapies being reported for the treatment of SBP. They included 13 studies in their analysis and all of them were randomized controlled trials.…”

“…Initially ciprofloxacin was administered in a dose of 200 mg BD (intravenous) and subsequently was switched to oral dose of 500 mg BD when sign and symptoms of disease disappeared. Ceftazidime was given in a dosage of 2 grams BD [19][20] . In patients who had renal dysfunction, dose of both the antibiotics was accordingly adjusted.…”

Microbial spectrum and antibiotic sensitivity in cirrhotic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis

“…18 It had been recommended that cefotaxime, ceftriaxone and fluoroquinolones should be given empirically when there is suspicion of SBP. 10,11,12 Over the last few years, resistance to these antibiotics have been described. Bibi S, et al (2015) found that resistance to third generation cephalosporin was 78 % and to fluoroquinolone was 69.6 %.…”
