| Abstract: | The mortality rate in spontaneous bacterial peritonitis is reportedly high. Patients rarely survive the initial infection. Most patients die either because of infection or end-stage liver disease. A patient with alcoholic cirrhosis and portal hypertension with five distinct episodes of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis over a 2 1/2-year period is described. |
