SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM The magnitude of the problem of infections in cirrhosis is not quantifiable for many reasons.Infections are often difficult to recognise in patients with cirrhosis because 30e50% of infections, such as spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), can remain culture negative. 9 Conventional risk-scoring strategies, such as the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria, cannot reliably differentiate sepsis (SIRS plus infection) from noninfectious SIRS. 10 This is important because a partial SIRS-like state is present in most patients with decompensated end-stage liver disease and therefore in itself cannot be used to differentiate between infected and uninfected patients. There are also difficulties diagnosing the presence of infections, especially in hospitalised cirrhotic patients. 5 Strategies such as measuring C-reactive protein and procalcitonin may be helpful in selected patients, but a specific differentiator is still needed. 11 12 Time-appropriate strategies are needed to suspect infections and send cultures early so as to initiate appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Also a heightened suspicion of potentially resistant organisms is required in order to change therapy as needed. 2 In addition, most current studies are single centre, and there are limited data on the emergence of multiresistant strains and healthcareassociated (which develop< 48 h after admission in patients with previous exposure to healthcare services in the preceding 90 or 180days) and nosocomial (which develop> 48 h after admission) infections.
