Abstract
A 46-year-old male patient was a known case of alcohol-related chronic pancreatitis with underlying chronic liver disease. He presented with fever and abdominal disten-sion. With suspicion of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, an ascitic fluid examination was done, which showed leukocy-tosis (49,491 cells/ μm 3 ), high protein (2.9 g/dl) and low glu-cose (5 mg/dl) levels. It was lymphocyte predominant with elevated adenosine deaminase levels (46 U/l)
