The laboratory diagnosis of 50 consecutive episodes of peritonitis in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) was studied. The technique which yielded the highest rate (84%) of positive bacteriological diagnoses was inoculation and subculture of thioglycollate broth. Cloudiness of fluid to the naked eye was an accurate predictor of a raised white cell count. A minimum laboratory protocol for the bacteriological diagnosis of CAPD peritonitis was devised and has been in use satisfactorily since the completion of the study. Antibiotic treatment was given orally in the first instance in 43 episodes and was successful in 34.
