A member asked:
If there is no infection in ascites fluid (has been tested), can it still cause fevers?

Not usually: What you are talking about is bacterial peritonitis; if there is no infection in the fluid, then it is important to search for another source of infection.

Ascites: It would be unusual for ascites without sbp or infection to cause fever.
