Campylobacter jejuni peritonitis complicating continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis

Campylobacter jejuni peritonitis complicating continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

We report the occurrence of Campylobacter jejuni peritonitis complicating C. jejuni enteritis in a patient treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Cure followed oral administration of erythromycin and intraperitoneal therapy with gentamicin.

Treatment of peritonitis complicating continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is an established alternative to hemodialysis for the treatment of end stage renal disease. However, catheter-related infections and peritonitis remain serious disadvantages. The incidence of peritonitis is about one episode per patient per year (9) but has been declining with improved administration systems. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS...

Fungal peritonitis in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Fungal peritonitis represents one of the most serious complications in patients on peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). The therapy often consists of peritoneal catheter extraction and patient recruitment to hemodialysis. For some of the patients the peritoneal dialysis is the only way of dialysis, due to inability to perform a permanent vascular access. In this study we present 13 patients with fungal ...

Fungal peritonitis complicating peritoneal dialysis.

causative organisms are usually bacteria(l). Fungi are uncommonly implicated, .being responsible for only 2-10% of all peritonitis episodes associated with PD(2). The majority of the published experience deals with fungal peritonitis in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, the incidence being 0.2 to 1.7 episodes per 12 patient months of dialysis(3). Fungal peritonitis,...
