Actualización sobre tratamientos utilizados en peritonitis bacteriana espontánea en pacientes cirróticos. Análisis de evidencia científica y su uso en la práctica clínica

Abstract

It’s crucial to address the issue of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, since it is a lifethreatening infection, which, a few years ago, was unknown, but today it has caused thousands of deaths around the world. The importance lies in the great bacterial resistance against the daily antibiotic scheme, due to a change in the intestinal microbiota. Resistance has markedly increased the short- and long-term mortality rate in patients presenting with the infection. Objective: The general objective of this research is to describe the new treatments used in spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in cirrhotic patients. Methodology: In the methodology used, the review of clinical studies from the main databases of the required field will be included, through a narrative bibliographic review which addresses the subject, as well as the analysis of the data of patients with bacterial peritonitis. spontaneously subjected to the treatments. Expected results: Results are expected to clarify an ideal therapeutic scheme to treat infections in patients, analyze mortality rates, and the different therapeutic successes.
