Peritonitis due to <i>Geotrichum candidum</i> in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

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 ...

Withdrawal of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis to treat mild peritonitis.

and different doctors did not differ significantly in demographic variables, weight, method of feeding, or the number and timing of other routine immunisations. The intradermal method was recorded as difficult on 36 occasions and very difficult on four; the percutaneous method was recorded as difficult once.

Peritonitis in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis due to Cylindrocarpon lichenicola infection.

Peritonitis due to Roseomonas fauriae in a patient undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Roseomonas is a newly described genus of pink-pigmented, nonfermentative, gram-negative bacteria that have been recognized as a cause of human infections. Roseomonas fauriae is a species rarely isolated from clinical specimens. We report the first known case of peritonitis caused by R. fauriae in a patient receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
