ABSTRACT
Cirrhosis contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Infections in patients with cirrhosis are common and significantly impact health-related quality of life. As our understanding of immune dysfunction associated with cirrhosis grows and as rates of drug-resistant organisms increase, the management of infections in cirrhosis has become increasingly nuanced. In this review, we discuss the current understanding of cirrhosis-associated immune deficiency, review the most common infections in patients with cirrhosis, and highlight techniques for the general clinician in the prevention and treatment of infections in this high-risk population.
