Peritoneal dialysis peritonitis by anaerobic pathogens: a retrospective case series
BACKGROUND Bacterial infections account for most peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis episodes. However, anaerobic PD peritonitis is extremely rare and intuitively associated with intra-abdominal lesions. In this study, we examined the clinical characteristics of PD patients who developed anaerobic peritonitis. METHODS We retrospectively identified all anaerobic PD peritonitis epis...
متن کاملPeritonitis following colonoscopy in a peritoneal dialysis patient.
A 65-year-old woman on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) developed blood-tinged dialysate and bacterial peritonitis following a colonoscopic polypectomy. She grew multiple anaerobic organisms in her dialysate despite antibiotic prophylaxis with vancomycin and gentamicin prior to the procedure. This case confirms the need for broad spectrum antibiotic prophylaxis prior to colonosc...
متن کاملCurvularia lunata, a rare fungal peritonitis in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD); a rare case report
Peritonitis is an inflammation of the peritoneum that occurs in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) treated by peritoneal dialysis. Fungal peritonitis is a dreaded complication of peritoneal dialysis. Curvularia lunata is known to cause extra renal disease like endocarditis, secondary allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and endophthalmitis. This case report presents a case of conti...
متن کاملA case of Aspergillus fumigatus peritonitis in a patient undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD): diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
In the June 2004 issue of your journal, Scotter described a case of aspergillus peritonitis in a patient undergoing renal dialysis diagnosed by the polymerase chain reaction and galactomannan detection. We had a similar case of aspergillus peritonitis detected by (repeated) culture of peritoneal fluid and a positive serum galactomannan detection test. An 82 year old man under continuous ambulat...
متن کاملContinuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) associated peritonitis in a child: a rare case of peritonitis caused by sphingomonous paucimobilis.
First identified in 1977, Sphingomonous Paucimobilis has emerged as an opportunistic human pathogen. It is primarily known to cause a range of mostly nosocomial, non-life-threatening infections that typically are easily treated by antibiotic therapy. Sources of its isolation linked to clinical disease include blood, spinal fluid and leg ulcers. It has also been reported as a rare cause of perit...
