In five patients, peritonitis caused by uncommon agents was acquired during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Three patients had yeast (two Candida albicans, one C parapsilosis), one Aspergillus fumigatus, and one Nocardia asteroides infections. A review of the literature indicates that yeasts are the most common cause of peritoneal dialysis-associated fungal peritonitis; only one other possible case of Aspergillus sp and no Nocardia infections have been proved, to our knowledge. Observations are recorded in reference to diagnosis and suggested methods of treatment.
