Eosinophilic peritonitis

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis associated with recurrent eosinophilic peritonitis.

Eosinophilic peritonitis: an unusual manifestation of tuberculous peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patient.

Eosinophilic peritonitis is an uncommon clinical entity with diagnostic considerations separate from those of tuberculous peritonitis. We report a patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) with eosinophilic peritonitis resulting from tuberculous peritonitis. Acid-fast stain and mycobacterial culture of peritoneal dialysis effluent were both negative result. In the peritoneal d...

Pathological changes in chronic eosinophilic peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patient

We report the pathological findings of the peritoneum in a patient with chronic eosinophilic peritonitis. Peripheral blood eosinophilia was confirmed before insertion of Tenckhoff catheter. Eosinophilic peritonitis continued from the second day after initiation of peritoneal dialysis for 18 months. Pathological findings showed numerous eosinophils in peritoneal blood vessels. Mast cells were al...

Eosinophilic Peritonitis in a Patient with Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD)

Eosinophilic peritonitis is defined as when there are more than 100 eosinophils present per milliliter of peritoneal effluent, of which eosinophils constitute more than 10% of its total WBC count. Most cases occur within the first 4 weeks of peritoneal catheter insertion and they usually have a benign and self-limited course. We report a patient of eosinophilic peritonitis that was successfully...

Evidence for a role of plasticizers in 'eosinophilic' peritonitis in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Prof. G. Rifle, Hôpital du Bocage, 2, boulevard de-Lattre-de-Tassigny, F-21034 Dijon Cédex (France) Dear Sir, Some patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) have developed a culture-negative peritonitis with a high eosinophilic count in the peritoneal dialysis (PD) effluent: so-called ‘eosinophilic peritonitis’. We report a case which strongly suggests the responsibil...
