About this study

The forecast of the spontaneous infection of the liquid of ascites (ISLA) at the cirrhotic patient is still burdened by a heavy mortality. The fast diagnosis of the ISLA is thus an essential stake to improve the forecast.

Investigators would so like to estimate the interest of the strip PeriScreen for the fast diagnosis of the ISLA at cirrhotic patients . Investigators plan to include 670 patients, what would allow to make out a will at least on ascites 2000 on about twenty centers for duration estimated of 12 months.
