pubmed:abstractText |
Fungal infection is an uncommon cause of peritonitis in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). This report describes the clinical and microbiological features of 10 cases of fungal peritonitis. Although all patients survived, morbidity was high. Abscess and adhesion formation were particular problems. Only two patients were able to return to CAPD after microbiological cure. Currently available treatment strategies for fungal peritonitis are reviewed.
