Consecutive infections usually occurred shortly after the previous episode. Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) was the most common infection. However, the proportion of SBP declined from 43% at the first to only 31% at the third nosocomial infection (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> \u2009=\u20090.096). In contrast, the likelihood for other, less common types of infection such as blood stream infections increased.
