Abstract
Bacterial infections are a common and severe liver cirrhosis complication. The bacterial infections in this disease besides general effects cause also specific ones: they intensify portal hepatic encephalopathy, hemodynamic disorders, including portal hypertension, liver dysfunction, increase the risk of hepatorenal syndrome and varicose bleedings. Meanwhile, the infections may not have clear clinical signs and as a consequence may be untimely diagnosed.
