What Causes SBP in Children?

SBP is typically caused by the translocation of gut bacteria into the peritoneal cavity. The most common pathogens responsible for SBP include Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Children with compromised immune systems, particularly those with cirrhosis or nephrotic syndrome, are at a higher risk.
