Infections are important modifiable cause for morbidity and mortality in patients with cirrhosis of liver. Aim: To assess the incidence, predisposing factors, types of infection, prognostic factors and mortality in patients with infections in cirrhosis of liver. Methods: All patients diagnosed as cirrhosis of liver from 1st January 2013 to 31 st march 2013 coming to five different centers in India were included in this multicentre observational study. All patients were evaluated for clinical profile, etiology of cirrhosis

of liver, thorough laboratory investigations and imaging studies at baseline and after 30 days of presentation. Blood, urine and whenever necessary sputum cultures were sent on admission and 30 day mortality was also recorded. Results: Out of total of 380 patients with check details cirrhosis of liver, 287 (75.52%) were male and 93 (24.48%) were female. Average age was 53.5 years. 97 (25.52%) patients had infections.
