Is detection of bacterial DNA in ascitic fluid of clinical relevance?

2 Nov 2010

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In patients with cirrhosis, bacterial DNA has been found in ascites reflecting bacterial translocation. However, the clinical relevance of this finding is ill-defined especially compared with the standard diagnostics for detection of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). Furthermore, other DNA tests have not been sufficiently evaluated. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We prospectively included 151 patients...
