چکیده

Pseudomonas stutzeri is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile, single polar-flagellated, soil bacterium that was first isolated from human spinal fluid and is widely distributed in the environment. It was isolated as an uncommon opportunistic pathogen from humans, and a few cases of P. stutzeri-induced peritonitis have been reported in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Catheter removal with antibiotic treatment is generally recommended because peritonitis by Pseudomonas species is commonly associated with catheter-related infection. Here, we describe the first case of P. stutzeri-induced peritonitis in an 82-year-old woman in Korea. She had received two antipseudomonal antibiotics, an aminoglycoside (isepamicin, Yuhan corporation, Seoul, Korea) and a fluoroquinolone (ciprofloxacin), and was successfully treated without removal of the CAPD catheter.

Risk factors and cause of removal of peritoneal dialysis catheter in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

In the present study, we examined the risk factors and causes for removal of the peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter in patients on continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD). Data were collected from the records of patients who received CAPD therapy from 1995 to 2007 in the Department of Nephrology, Saitama Medical University. During that time, 473 patients were introduced onto CAPD therapy and the PD cath...

Successful treatment of peritonitis by C. bertholletiae in a chronic kidney failure patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis after kidney rejection.

Peritonitis is a common problem in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. However, peritonitis due to Cunninghamella (C.) bertholletiae, a fungus of the class Zygomycetes, is rare. We present a case of fungal peritonitis in a patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis due to kidney rejection. Direct examination of the patient's peritoneal fluid showed fungal hyphae, and the culture ...

Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis associated with Lancefield group G beta-hemolytic streptococcus: report of two cases requiring Tenckhoff catheter removal.

We describe the first two cases of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis associated with Lancefield group G beta-hemolytic streptococci in the literature. Both patients presented with abdominal pain and turbid dialysis effluent with or without fever. Both had concomitant gastrointestinal tract disturbance. Both did not respond to intraperitoneal cefazolin and tobramycin ...

Laparoscopic therapy in a CAPD patient with perforated appendicitis without removal of the peritoneal catheter.

Peritonitis is the most common complication in patients receiving chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). It is normally readily diagnosed and successfully treated conservatively without serious complications. However, when peritonitis is resistant to standard intraperitoneal antibiotic therapy, underlying intra-abdominal pathology should be suspected [1]. Of all peritonitis in CAPD pati...

Efficacy and safety of meropenem plus tobramycin followed by meropenem plus vancomycin for treating peritonitis in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Peritonitis is a serious complication in patients on peritoneal dialysis. We examined the efficacy of MTV therapy [first 7 days: meropenem 0.5 g intravenously (IV) twice daily, plus tobramycin 15 mg intraperitoneally (IP) in every dialysis bag; next 7 days: meropenem 0.5 g IV twice daily, plus vancomycin 8 mg/kg IP in every bag after a 1-g loading dose] on peritonitis in patients undergoing con...
