Overview

Epidemiology and Demographics

In patients with ascites who underwent routine paracentesis, the incidence of active spontaneous bacterial peritonitis ranged from 10% to 27% at the time of hospital admission.[1] There is an increase in prevalence of spontaneous bacterial peritonitisin patients admitted to hospital.

Age, gender, race are not associated with increased risk of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
