Abstract
The results of the forensic medical examination of 70 patients deceased from cirrhosis out of hospital have been analyzed. The aim of the research was to define frequency, structure and features of infectious complications in that category of the patients. As a result of the study it was established that 24 (34,29 %) of the deceased revealed infectious complications associated with cirrhosis. The most prevalent infectious complications were as follows: pneumonia (17,1 %), urinary tract infections (10 %) and decubituses (5,7 %). The infectious complications in cirrhosis were more common for women and caused renal insufficiency (necrotic nephrosis). Thus, infectious complications in cirrhotic outpatients are nevertheless very prevailing.
