Inclusion criteria

✓. The diagnosis of cirrhosis was based on clinical manifestation (ascites, splenomegaly, lower limb edema and/or esophageal varices by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy), laboratory findings and radiological (abdominal ultrasonography), or liver histology.
✓. The diagnosis of SBP was based on a neutrophil cell count of 250 cell or more per mm3 with or without culture positivity of ascitic fluid, in the absence of hemorrhagic ascites and secondary peritonitis.

Exclusion criteria

✕. Patients with bacterial ascites defined by a positive culture of ascitic fluid associated with a neutrophil cell count less than 250 cell per mm3 in the ascitic fluid.
✕. Patients presenting with empyema or bacterial peritonitis secondary to an intra-abdominal organ perforation or surgical operation
