Hemophilus influenzae, usually pathogenic in the pediatric population, caused septicemia and peritonitis in the cirrhotic adult described here. Susceptibility to this unusual adult pathogen was perhaps related to liver disease or corticosteroid treatment. This organism has not previously been associated with the syndrome of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in an adult.
流感嗜血杆菌通常在儿科人群中具有致病性，在此病例中导致了一名肝硬化成年患者发生败血症和腹膜炎。对这种不常见的成年病原体的易感性可能与肝脏疾病或皮质类固醇治疗有关。此前该病原体与成人自发性细菌性腹膜炎综合征并无关联。
