The risk factors and outcome of fungal peritonitis in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients.

AIM To determine the risk factors and outcome of fungal peritonitis in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients over a 7-year period. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective study was conducted on 30 cases of fungal peritonitis in CAPD patients during a 7-year period (2000-2007). The diagnosis was based on elevated CAPD effluent count and isolation of fungi. Patients were eva...
