Abstract-Vorschau
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a common and often fatal complication in patients with advanced liver cirrhosis. It is defined by an elevated absolute polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) count ≥ 250/mm³ and a positive ascitic fluid bacterial culture. With current bacterial culture techniques pathogenic agents are detected in only 50% to 80% of patients with neutrocytic ascites. Hence, faster and more sensit…
