| Description | An acute bleeding from oesophageal varices as a result of portal hypertension is a frequent and at the same time serious complication of cirrhosis of the liver. One of factors influencing this bleeding can be a bacterial infection.Endotoxines can increase portal pressure and so participate in development of bleeding and simultaneously deteriorate a patients prognosis. An antibiotic treatment is a part of a treatment algorithem, however what antibiotics to administer and in what manner is ulclear. A group of 46 patients who were admitted to a hospital for an acute bleeding from varices has been compared in the study 48 cirrhosis patients hospitalised for other reasons.There was no difference in survival of both groups. Due to a high number of bacterial infections antibiotics administration has been indicated in these patients. Intravenous administration is probably of the same effect as peroral administration. |
