Abstract: Objective The spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is one of the most common complications in patients with cirrhosis, with high clinical incidence, rapid disease development and high mortality. The clinical manifestations of SBP are often not very typical, and the diagnosis of celiac infection is mainly based on the white blood cell counts in celiac fluid. The treatment is mainly empirical antibiotic administration and intestinal flora modulation. Early diagnosis and active intervention are of great importance to improve the prognosis and reduce the mortality, but there are still some great challenges in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the entity, which require in-depth study to further solve the relevant problems, so as to guide the clinical practice and improve the patient's prognosis.
