چکیده
We describe herein the first two cases of Plesiomonas shigelloides continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis. Both patients presented with abdominal pain and turbid dialysis effluent with or without fever. Both recovered after 10 days of intraperitoneal administration of cefazolin and tobramycin. The route of transmission may have been direct contamination of the connection device or bacterial translocation through the gastrointestinal tract.
