| Resumo: |
Bacterial infection is a common complication in cirrhotic patients. The portal hypertension as well as the immune depression observed in these patients can explain this high incidence of bacterial infection. Because of the high probability of cirrhotic patients to develop infections, antibiotic prophylaxis is warranted in some conditions, such as upper gastrointestinal bleeding or after spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. Nevertheless, antibiotic prophylaxis is not widely recommended for cirrhotic patients.
