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 ...

Pneumococcal peritonitis is prevalent in children and adults with comorbidities but extremely rare in healthy adults. Here we describe a case of pneumococcal peritonitis in a previously healthy woman with no known risk factors who presented with constipation, abdominal pain, and distention. Her only past medical history was an uncomplicated C-section two months prior to presentation. A laparoto...

Patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) are at increased risk for peritonitis. We report a case of a patient with end-stage renal disease on continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD) who developed peritonitis within 24 h of upper endoscopy with biopsy and colonoscopy with polypectomy. He had a previous history of peritonitis unrelated to invasive procedures and eventually was transitioned to hemodialysis be...

Peritonitis that is caused by Staphylococcus aureus is a serious complication in peritoneal dialysis (PD), but the clinical course of PD-related S. aureus peritonitis remains unclear. All of the S. aureus peritonitis in a dialysis unit from 1994 to 2005 were reviewed. During this period, 2065 episodes of peritonitis were recorded; 245 (11.9%) episodes in 152 patients were caused by S. aureus an...

BACKGROUND Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related peritonitis is a serious complication that typically leads to hospitalization, catheter loss, and even mortality. Previous studies of the risk factors for peritonitis are discordant. To date, no biomarker associated with PD-related peritonitis has been investigated. However, it has been shown that serum decoy receptor 3 (DcR3) is a valuable marker in ...

OBJECTIVES Peritonitis is one of the most important causes of treatment failure in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. This study describes changes in characteristics of causative organisms in PD-related peritonitis and antimicrobial susceptibility. METHODS In this single center study we analyzed retrospective 487 susceptibility profiles of the peritoneal fluid cultures of 351 adult patients w...

BACKGROUND Despite the significant impact of nosocomial infections on the morbidity and mortality of patients staying in the intensive care unit (ICU), no study over the past 20 years has focused specifically on VAP following secondary peritonitis. The objective of the present study was to determine in-hospital mortality and epidemiological features attributed to ventilator-associated pneumonia...

Despite technology advances, prevention of peritonitis remains one of the major challenges in peritoneal dialysis (PD). Several innovative developments have shown an impact on peritonitis rates. Innovative antimicrobial-coated catheter modifications have been introduced, showing promising results in vitro. Topical application of antimicrobial agents such as mupirocin to prevent exit-site infect...

V caseosa, the “cheese-like” white cutaneous material covering the skin of newborns, is a very unusual cause of peritonitis. Only 15 cases of this entity have been described. Although spillage of amniotic fluid into the peritoneal cavity is almost inevitable after cesarean section, this spillage is usually insignificant and only rarely does it progress to peritonitis. The exact mechanism for th...

Introduction Acute generalized peritonitis from gastrointestinal hollow viscus perforation is a potentially life threatening condition. e prognosis of peritonitis remains poor despite development in diagnosis and management. Early identification of patients with severe peritonitis may help in selecting patients for aggressive surgical approach [1-3]. Grading the severity of acute peritonitis h...
