Positive Rivalta s test results can occur in cats with bacterial peritonitis or lymphoma.
2.
It is also associated with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, a frequent complication occurring in patients affected by cirrhosis.
3.
Individuals with ascites that have become infected spontaneously ( termed spontaneous bacterial peritonitis or SBP ) are at an especially high risk for the development of HRS.
4.
If there is ascites, diagnostic paracentesis ( removal of a fluid sample with a needle ) may be required to identify spontaneous bacterial peritonitis ( SBP ).
5.
Norfloxacin is used for prevention of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in cirrhotic patients who have a low ascites fluid protein level, impaired renal function, severe liver disease, have had a prior episode of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, or esophageal variceal bleeding.

"It has been proposed that the reagent strip for leukocyte esterase designed for the testing of urine ( Combur test UX ) could be a useful tool for diagnosing spontaneous bacterial peritonitis SBP . " Braga et al . concluded that the Combur test UX urine screening test is a very sensitive and specific method for diagnosing SBP in the ascitic fluid of cirrhotic patients who have undergone paracentesis ."
8.
Antibiotic resistance increases with duration of treatment; therefore, as long as an effective minimum is kept, shorter courses of antibiotics are likely to decrease rates of resistance, reduce cost, and have better outcomes with fewer complications . spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, suspected lung infections in intense care wards, so-called acute abdomen, middle ear infections, sinusitis and throat infections, and penetrating gut injuries.
