| Abstract |
|
CAPD peritonitis caused by Trichosporon species is uncommon. We report a case of peritonitis due to T. insectorum in a 38-year-old man who had undergone CAPD for about 1 year. He presented with abdominal pain. The clinical signs and analysis of peritoneal fluid were consistent with CAPD peritonitis. Patient deteriorated despite empirical antibiotics therapy. Repeated peritoneal culture revealed Trichosporon species. The peritonitis was treated with CAPD catheter removal and administering amphotericin B and fluconazole. We isolated T. insectorum by DNA sequencing method. We hereby report the first case of T. insectorum CAPD peritonitis. |
