All episodes of recurrent infection in a CAPD unit over a 26-month period have been analysed to discover whether relapse and reinfection have different prognostic importance. Relapse and reinfection were distinguished by detailed microbiological investigation. Prognosis was expressed in terms of outcome of treatment and the fate of the Tenckhoff ca...
We report five cases of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis in which the mechanisms and sources of infection were established. We show how diligent enquiry and environmental investigation can explain the pathogenesis of infection and help in prevention by motivation of the patient.
A significant increase in the incidence of methicillin resistance was found in coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from infected dialysis fluids in 1985 compared with the previous year. Vancomycin and teicoplanin were active against all these isolates, and had similar minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations. The pharmacokinetic beh...

... CNS is considered part of the normal microbiota in humans; still, it is recognized as a cause of infections of variable severity. Tzamaloukas (19) reported that CNS infections evolved without severe consequences, presenting benign characteristics, whereas other authors have described a different bacterial profile, observing significant levels of recurrent peritonitis (20,21). ...

... Streptococcus pneumoniae peritonitis is associated, in general, with predisposing conditions, like immunodeficiency, cirrhosis or gynaecologic complications 6,7 . In PD, only one case of pneumococcal peritonitis secondary to respiratory infection was described to date to our knowledge 8 . Three other cases were reported, one associated with mild Case 2 chest radiography -right middle lobar pneumonia vaginitis and two others with intrauterine contraceptive devices [9][10][11] . ...
... 1 However, only nine cases of peritonitis with Bacillus cereus in patients on peritoneal dialysis have been reported in the literature. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] In this report, we use peritoneal dialysis to refer to patients who have received continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), intermittent peritoneal dialysis as well as automated peritoneal dialysis. Our new report from the Faroe Islands adds to the critical knowledge about this rare infection, and shares clinically useful information regarding treatment and potential sources of infection. ...
... Peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis caused by Listeria monocytogenes is rare. To date, only 19 cases have been reported (Table 1) [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. A high index of suspicion is required for timely diagnosis, especially in patients who are immunocompromised or have other risk factors [2]. ...
... Although gastroenteritis is the most common infection of Aeromonas species, peritonitis caused by Aeromonas species are not uncommon, especially spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in patients with cirrhosis [8][9][10]. However, peritonitis episodes due to Aeromonas species have seldom been reported in PD patients [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] (Table 1). The most frequently isolated specie was A. hydrophila (10;71.4%), ...
... The frequency of nephrotoxic reactions depends on the dose, duration of treatment, patient's age, and previous renal function. Although adverse event risks, including nephrotoxicity are lower with TEC than VAN (29), the former is not removable by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis (30). Currently, without the promise of an antidote, TEC overdose management guidelines recommend a symptomatic treatment to reduce adverse patient outcomes. ...
