Core Tip	Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) occurs in patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD); spontaneous fungal peritonitis (SFP) is a complication of ESLD less known and described. Patients with SFP had a significantly worse prognosis than those with SBP. The incidence accounts from 0% to 13% of patients with ESLD and spontaneous peritonitis. Data are conflicting regarding fungi distribution between nosocomial and non-nosocomial infections. Candida spp. are the most frequent fungal infectious agent isolated. Previous SBP antibiotic prophylaxis, hepatorenal syndrome, low ascitic fluid protein (< 1 g/dL), elevated acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ and serum lactate also significantly adversely impact hospital mortality.
