Cirrhosis of the liver susceptible to bacterial invasion

Cirrhosis of the liver is the aforementioned intestinal edema, congestion, mucous degeneration, abnormal distribution and increased permeability of bacterial type strains caused by such factors as quality of changes in the intestinal bacteria leave the gut into the blood circulation of the favorable conditions and opportunities, bacteria can occur hyperlipidemia. On the other hand, cirrhosis of liver structure and function of changes in bacterial filtration function to weaken, as well as the establishment of Extrahepatic Collateral circulation from the intestinal bacterial content of the portal vein blood to bypass the liver into the systemic circulation, thus cirrhosis bacteremia continued trend. Once the body's immune ability to further reduce or further enhanced when the bacteria pathogenic activity when the bacteria in the blood can cause acoustic length of operation of sepsis.

The disease begins abruptly, the condition changes fast. Multi-fever accompanied by chills, fever type irregular, mostly in 390C-40OC. Systemic symptoms, often seen headache, muscle pain, tachypnea, heart rate speeding up the performance, but also often altered mental status, light are drowsiness, hallucinations, severe cases, coma. Its diagnostic criteria are:

1, chills, fever;

2, shock;

3, associated with bacterial peritonitis, or other parts of the bacterial infection;

4, liver disease increased the short term, into the deepening jaundice or hepatic coma occurred;

5, peripheral leukocytes and neutrophils increased, there is the phenomenon of toxic particles and shift to the left;

6, positive bacterial cultures of blood or bone marrow;
