Eosinophilic peritonitis is defined as the presence of an absolute eosinophil count exceeding 30 per cubic millimeter of dialysis fluid in patients receiving maintenance peritoneal dialysis (PD) (1,2). In adult patients, the incidence has been reported to range from 16% -30% in intermittent PD to as high as 60% in continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD) (1,2). It usually occurs within the first 3 months after dialysis initiation, although it has been reported to occur even later (2).
