Abstract:
Patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis is sensitive to concurrent infection and impact glucocorticoid response and disease prognosis. Glucocorticoids can increase the incidence and of serious infections and fungal infections. Among them, Gram-negative bacterial infections are the major one, and invasive fungal infections are not uncommon. Early diagnosis and empiric anti-infective therapy are important means for severe alcoholic hepatitis with concurrent infection. Anti-infective strategies covering multiple drug-resistant bacteria should be timely formulated after determining the high risk of multiple drug-resistant bacterial infections.
