Abstract:
Patients with liver cirrhosis are prone to infection due to various reasons such as weakened immunity and intestinal bacteria translocation. Among them, bacterial infections are the most common and are the main cause for liver failure progression, leading to increased mortality, while fungal infections, mainly caused by Candida mycoderma bacteria (Candida), are usually related to delayed diagnosis. Therefore, high vigilance, timely diagnosis and treatment of infection are important means to improve the treatment effectiveness in patients with end-stage liver disease. This paper focuses on the main characteristics and treatment methods of bacterial and fungal infections in patients with liver cirrhosis.
