   What is the difference between spontaneous and secondary bacterial peritonitis?

   • Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis involves a single bacterium translocating into the ascites and growing. It is more common and should generally respond to medical therapy. Secondary bacterial peritonitis is the presence of perforation or inflammation of an intra-abdominal organ (e.g., cholecystitis) in the presence of ascites.

   Which laboratory tests should be performed for bacterial peritonitis (SBP)?

   • Ascitic fluid laboratory tests should include cell count and culture. Bedside (standard urine) leukocyte esterase reagent strip testing of ascitic fluid has a role in the rapid diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP); highly-sensitive leukocyte esterase reagent strip testing of ascitic fluid may be used to rule out SBP.

   Can bacterial peritonitis cause Frank peritoneal pain?
