    The excess abdominal fluid can become infected, causing spontaneous peritonitis according to the National Institutes of Health. Bacteria or fungus can cause the abdominal fluid and the lining of the abdomen, the peritonitis, to become infected. This causes severe abdominal pain, tenderness and bloating. Fever, chills, joint pain, nausea and vomiting can also occur.
