| Core Tip |
Esophageal variceal bleeding, a serious condition linked to liver cirrhosis, often requires endoscopic treatment. While western guidelines suggest using antibiotics after endoscopic treatment, data from multiple Japanese medical centers indicates that these prophylactic antibiotics are not associated with 6-wk mortality. Based on advances in cirrhosis treatment and the appropriate use of antibiotics, the necessity of routine prophylaxis must be reassessed. |
