Biliary peritonitis

Biliary peritonitis (biliary peritonitis) is a peritoneal inflammation caused by the leakage of bile from the biliary system into the abdominal cavity. Those with only bile-like fluid in the abdominal cavity and no signs of peritonitis are pure bile ascites. Biliary peritonitis is usually caused by sterile bile overflow into the abdominal cavity, bile salt stimulation and its chemical toxicity. If the bile is contaminated or there is an infection in the primary disease, it can cause secondary bacterial peritonitis. The most commonly infected bacteria are Escherichia coli, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Bacteroides fragile, etc. The bacterial content is often 105 / ml.
