Successful treatment of Aspergillus peritonitis complicating peritoneal dialysis.

K Prewitt1, J Lockard, D Rodgers, J Hasbargen.   

Abstract

Fungal peritonitis is an uncommon complication of peritoneal dialysis. There have been four reported cases of dialysis-related Aspergillus peritonitis. Only one patient survived and none have continued peritoneal dialysis. This report describes the first case of dialysis-related Aspergillus peritonitis that was able to continue peritoneal dialysis and reviews the previous cases. Dialysis catheter removal and intravenous amphotericin appear to be the most beneficial therapy.
