Analysis of pathogenic bacteria distribution,laboratory indicators and prognosis in patients with bacterial ascites / 中国现代医生

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical features,laboratory indicators and prognosis of patients with bacterial ascites,and to provide evidence for early clinical diagnosis and treatmen.Methods Clinical data of patients diagnosed with cirrhosis ascites from First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2019 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.According to diagnostic criteria,they were divided into bacterial ascites group(n=24),spontaneous bacterial peritonitis group(n=20)and control group(n=26).The clinical features,laboratory indicators and prognosis of three groups were compared.Results Cirrhosis ascites caused by hepatitis B accounted for the highest proportion.The white blood cell count,neutrophil percentage,ascites white blood cell and polymorphonuclear leukocyte count of patients in bacterial ascites group were significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.05).Gram-positive bacteria was the main pathogens causing bacterial ascites,among which staphylococcus accounts for the highest proportion.Ten cases of bacterial ascites with symptoms of infection were treated with ascites culture and anti-infection therapy.The 14 patients without symptoms of infection were given different treatment according to the development of the disease,one patient died,and the other patients improved.Conclusion The number of patients with bacterial ascites was large,and the main pathogenic bacteria was Gram-positive coccus.The combination of clinical symptoms and laboratory indicators is beneficial to the early diagnosis of bacterial ascites and the decision of treatment.
