SBP (25% -31%), urinary tract infections - UTI (20% 25%), pneumonia (15% -21% %) sepsis- SEPSIS (12%), soft tissue infections (11%) About 75% of cases of cirrhosis in cirrhotic patients are Gramnegative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiellaspp, Enterobacterspp, P aeruginosa, Vibrio spp, Aeromonas spp While Gram positive accounts for 20.2% and anaerobic species accounts for 3.2% Recently, the prevalence of gram-positive bacterial infections has been on the rise, according to a study by Marco Fiore et al 1.3.The pathogenesis of SBP Conn H.O's BT (bacterial translocation) approach in the 1960s was the basis for the pathogenesis of SBP Today, the mechanism of pathogenesis of SBP is better understood with the participation of many factors: Form Factors: + Changes in anatomic structure and portal vein pressure + Immune disorders: site and system _ Excessive growth of bacteria + Movement path of bacteria: + Lymphatic drainage + Blood sugar + The way of smuggling Factors supporting the movement of bacteria: Environment, nutrition, metabolism, stress, drug use PPIs 1.4 Clinical presentations The main clinical symptoms of SBP include: - Symptoms of total or local peritonitis - infection syndrome - Impaired liver function syndrome - Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) - Kidney - Hepatic renal syndrome (HRS) - Shock - Gastrointestinal bleeding In particular, asymptomatic SBP, about 1.5% -3.5% 1.5 Diagnostic tests for SBP 1.5.1 Microbiologic testings Today, screening facilities use aseptic culture in blood culture bottles on bacterial culture systems and automatic bacteriostatic identification This method has been shown to have a higher positive rate of implantation than conventional implantation 1.5.2 Methods of counting the polymorphonuclearneutrophilic leukocyte (PMN) The method of counting PMN cells in ascites is crucial to the diagnosis of SBP Multi-core counting methods used include: The classic method of counting white blood cells by Giemsa staining and microscopic counts is subjective and time consuming The automatic / semi-automatic hematopoieticcounting method has the advantage of fast and accurate and indicates the percentage of white blood cells in ascites, which makes it easy to calculate the white blood cell count accurately PMN = total white blood cell x% Neutrophil The SBP is diagnosed valid when the number of PMN cells> 250 / μL Automatic blood counting methods have been shown to have a sensitivity and specificity of 94% and 100%, respectively Negative predictive value is 99.1%, positive predictive value is 100% Urine reagent strip testings (Multistix 8SG urine test) The scientific basis of this method is to detect indirectly leukocyte esterase-leukocyte esterase cells secreted by these cells Enzyme esterase activates the color indicator on the test and performs colorimetry on the machine This method is qualitative, semi-quantitative Although the method of urine testing yielded rapid results at bedside, there was no consensus in the early diagnosis of SBP, for reasons of low sensitivity and false negative rates high, especially in cases where SBP has white blood cell count in low ascites Measurement of Lactoferrin/ Calprotectin in ascites.Lactoferrin / Calprotectinis a protein that binds calcium and zinc, which is secreted by multiplexed white blood cells and proportional to the number of these cells This method gives sensitivity and specificity of 95.4% and 85.2%, respectively However, this method has some limitations: Difficult to diagnose in cases of SBP have decreased number of white blood cells multipliers and cases secondary inflammation 1.5.3 Diagnosis of SBP is based on bacterial DNA present in ascites Today, with molecular techniques, bacterial DNA can be detected in the blood or in ascites DNA extraction - Real-time polymerase chain reaction (DNA sequencing) - DNA sequencing With this technique, small amounts of bacterial DNA, if present in ascites, will be detected Therefore, it is possible to diagnose VMBNKTP at early stage or in case of previous SBP using antibiotic prophylaxis, which results in negative culture However, this is a new technique and there are many limitations to overcome such as: The rate of homology between culture and DNA sequencing is not high (50%), negative bacteria DNA accounts for about half of cases of VMBNKTP negative culture; There is a lack of standard methods and primers, so many strains of bacteria have not been identified; No antibiotic evaluation; Secondary inflammation status was not evaluated 1.6 Diagnosis - Definitive diagnosis: SBP is based on the guidelines of the International Asiatic Society: The number of PMN in ascites> 250 cells / mm3 and / or bacteriostatic ascites results in positive culture - Differential diagnosis: + Secondary peritonitis + Septicemia + Fungal peritonitis 1.7 Treatment Treatment principle - Complete treatment - Early treatment - Select good antibiotics - Co-ordinate with antibiotics 1.7.1 Use antibiotics according to antibiotic maps This is a method of selecting antibiotics sensitive to pathogenic bacteria in a scientifically and economically reasonable way Even when antibiotics are well-defined, antibiotics should be combined to increase the likelihood of bactericidal activity and to reduce resistance to antibiotics (antibiotics should not be used alone) The combination of antibiotics follows the principle of antibiotic combination among groups: for example: Cephalosporin group TH3 + fluoroquinolone group TH2; but select antibiotics sensitive in that group 1.7.2 Use of empirical antibiotics (EAT) The use of empiric antibiotic therapy (EAT) is a method used for treatment prior to antibiotic therapy and / or for implantation negative bacteria This method is indicated as soon as the diagnosis of SBP is determined (cell count> 250 cells / mm3) without waiting for bacteriologic results Experimental antibiotic treatment is based on the results of research on epidemiology and pathogenesis of SBP; the susceptibility or antibiotic resistance of bacterial species in previous studies The European Consensus Guide and the guidelines of the International Ascetic Society recommend that the use of the 3rd generation Cephalosporin Group be the top choice for the treatment of SBP (Cefotaxime, Ceftriaxone, Cefoperazole) The recommended standard dose for cefotaxime is 2g every hours (6g / 24 hours) In cases where patients are not suitable for Cephalosporin, antibiotics such as amoxicillin-clavulanate are used instead Antibiotic therapy should be used with Cephalosporin TH3 and fluoroquinolone 1.7.3 Use of antibiotics in combination with albumin therapy Numerous studies have demonstrated that treatment of cefotaxime with cefotaxime combined with albumin (1.5 g / kg for the first hours of diagnosis, followed by g / kg for the next days) versus treatment by cefotaxime alone, it was shown that the patients treated with combination therapy had a 10% reduction compared with 33%, p = 0.002 and a lower mortality rate (10% vs 29% , p = 0.01) during hospital stay; and follow-up months after discharge (22% with 41%, p = 0.03) In patients with SBP, albumin is indicated for all cases of renal impairment and those with renal impairment: serum creatinine> mg / dL = 88.4 mmol / L, bilirubin> mg / dL = 68.4 mmol / L, BUN (blood urea nitrogen)> 30 mg / dL 1.7.4 Prophylaxis SBP Antibiotic prophylaxis is indicated for patients: Cirrhosis with ascites has gastrointestinal bleeding Cases with ascites volume 3.2 mg / dL and / or platelet count 250 cells / mm3 and / or bacterial ascites culture is positive result - There has been no antibiotic treatment within the previous month 2.1.2 Criteria for exclusion of patients - The cases of ascites are not due to cirrhosis - Cirrhosis of the liver associated with liver cancer or other metastatic tumors in the abdomen - Cases of secondary causes of peritonitis include: rupture of appendicitis, necrotizing cholecystitis, perforation of large intestine - Cases of tuberculosis or HIV - The cases of spontaneous peritonitis caused by fungus (results of culture of fungal infection positive ascites) Peritoneal tuberculosis, acute pancreatitis with abdominal fluid 2.2 Research Methods 2.2.1 Research design Is the method: description, cross sectional analysis, vertical tracking during the treatment 2.2.2 Study sample size Use of convenient sample size (106 patients) during 2010-2016 2.3 Research facilities System of bacteriostatic, bacteriostatic and antimicrobial automatic: PHONIX 100 -
