Lactobacillus paracasei continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis and review of the literature.

چکیده
We describe the first case of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD)-related peritonitis due to Lactobacillus paracasei. It occurred in a 65-year-old patient with recurrent episodes of peritonitis while he was receiving a prolonged course of intraperitoneal vancomycin. L. paracasei should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pathogens in CAPD-related peritonitis, especially in patients receiving prolonged vancomycin or glycopeptide treatment.

Background: The relative contribution of transcapillary water movement and lymphatic reabsorption in peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a critical issue, particularly in patients with ultrafiltration failure (UFF). Based on routine results obtained from the PD Adequest 2.0 software, the present study aimed to re-evaluate the separate effects of transcapillary water movement and lymphatic reabsorption ...

متن کاملSclerosing encapsulating peritonitis; silent danger in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients: case report and review of the literature
Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is a rare complication of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis causes weight loss, intermittent bowel obstruction and decrease in peritoneal water and solute transport. Mortality may reach up to 50% due to severe malnutrition and ileus. Although the etiology is not fully known, many reasons such as frequent peritoni...

A case of Lactobacillus rhamnosus-associated peritonitis in a patient undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis is reported. The patient was treated with vancomycin after isolation of glycopeptide-susceptible coagulase-negative staphylococci. After a skin rash developed, vancomycin was discontinued and replaced with teicoplanin. Seven weeks after the glycopeptide therapy was disconti...
