[Spontaneous ascites infections].
Spontaneous ascitic infection is a relatively frequent, serious and rarely diagnosed complication of cirrhotic ascitic. The author summarizes the classification of the disease and recommends to use term spontaneous ascitic infection instead of the narrower concept spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. He discusses the symptoms of the condition, its diagnosis and contemporary trends in treatment and prevention. He emphasizes in particular the necessity to consider this complication of cirrhosis, to diagnose it in time and treat it and thus to improve the prognosis of patients with cirrhosis and ascitic.
