With the implementation of best demonstrated clinical practices, peritonitis has become an infrequent complication of peritoneal dialysis in many centers around the world. Yet the gains in reduction in risk of peritonitis are not uniform. Most episodes of peritonitis do not require hospitalization and it is possible to achieve cure rates of 70%-80%. Some circumstances, however, necessitate the ...
INTRODUCTION Fungal peritonitis (FP), causing catheter obstruction, dialysis failure, and peritoneal dysfunction, is a rare but serious complication of peritoneal dialysis. In this study, the frequency and risk factors of FP are evaluated in children who underwent peritoneal dialysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective multicenter study was performed at the 5 pediatric peritoneal dialysis ...
Reducing the frequency of peritonitis for patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) continues to be a challenge. This review focuses on recent updates in catheter care and other patient factors that influence infection rates. An experienced nursing staff plays an important role in teaching proper PD technique to new patients, but nursing staff must be cognizant of each patient's unique educa...
Upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT) surgical procedures are more likely to cause nosocomial Candida peritonitis than lower GIT procedures and they thus constitute an independent risk factor for mortality. Because of the severity of postsurgical fungal infections complications, intensivists and surgeons need to be extremely aware of their clinical importance in critically ill postsurgical intensi...
P eritonitis can be induced by a number of infectious (bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic) and noninfectious (traumatic, chemical, neoplastic) causes. Bacterial agents are the most well-recognized cause of peritonitis in horses, and bacterial peritonitis is often described as primary or secondary based on the mode of entry of the infectious agent. Primary peritonitis usually occurs only in ass...
We report a fatal case a fungal peritonitis caused by the yeast-like dematiaceous mould Hormonema dematioides in a 45-year-old woman. The woman had a 13-year history of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and had been on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis for chronic renal failure. H. dematioides was repeatedly isolated from the dialysate culture specimens collected on days 3, 9, 16, and...
BACKGROUND The role of seasonal variation in peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related peritonitis has been limited to a few small single-centre studies. METHODS Using all 6610 Australian patients receiving PD between 1 October 2003 and 31 December 2008, we evaluated the influence of seasons on peritonitis rates (Poisson regression) and outcomes (multivariable logistic regression). RESULTS The overa...
Fusarium spp., common soil moulds, are emerging fungal pathogens in immunocompromised subjects. We report the first case of Fusarium solani peritonitis in a patient with liver cirrhosis. Because of the high morbidity and mortality associated with fusariosis, an aggressive approach to treatment as well as identification of the species and drug susceptibilities is warranted.
*Incharge Microbiologist, Department of Pathology, Bombay Hospital and Medical Research Centre, Mumbai-400020 Abstract Fungal pathogens account for a small but well recognised proportion of peritonitis infections in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. This report presents a case of peritonitis by Fusarium in a patient on CAPD. A literature review of previously reported ca...
