Comamonas testosteroni peritonitis secondary to dislocated intrauterine device and laparoscopic intervention in a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patient

摘要

Peritonitis is one of the most important problems in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Gram-positive bacteria, especially Staphylococcus epidermidis, are the most common cause of CAPD-related peritonitis; gram-negative bacteria and fungi are less common causes. Peritonitis can be successfully treated with antibiotics given by the intravenous or intraperitoneal route (1,2).
