Peritonitis Due to Aspergillus nidulans and Its Effective Treatment with Voriconazole: the First Case Report.

摘要

Fungal peritonitis is a rarely encountered complication in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and has serious progression (1,2). Candida species are the most common pathogens responsible for fungal peritonitis. Among filamentous fungi, although Aspergillus is uncommon, the mortality rate is high (2,3). The aim of the present case was to report effective treatment using voriconazole in a CAPD patient who had peritonitis due to Aspergillus nidulans.
