Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is infection of peritoneal covering of the abdomen caused by bacteria, without any known etiology. Common known predisposing factors are cirrhosis of liver and old age among others. Bacillus cereus is an uncommon cause of SBP and often wrongly interpreted as a contaminant. We hereby report a case of peritonitis in chronic alcoholic, elderly male patient presenting in the outpatient department. Bacillus cereus is often regarded as contaminant but must be carefully identified and correlated clinically in case of isolation from peritoneal fluid.
自发性细菌性腹膜炎(SBP)是由细菌引起的腹部腹膜感染,病因不明。常见的易感因素包括肝硬化和老年等。蜡样芽孢杆菌是SBP的罕见病因,常被错误地解释为污染物。我们在此报告一例在门诊就诊的慢性酒精中毒老年男性患者的腹膜炎病例。蜡样芽孢杆菌常被视为污染物,但如果从腹腔积液中分离出来,必须仔细鉴定并结合临床情况进行分析。
