Kocuria kristinae: an Unusual Cause of Acute Peritoneal Dialysis-Related Infection.

摘要

We describe here a case of acute peritonitis by an unusual gram-positive micro-organism that occurred in a patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal, dialysis (CAPD) in our nephrology unit. A 78-year-old man who had been on CAPD treatment for almost 2 years was admitted to our ward for abdominal pain, fever, and cloudy peritoneal dialysate. A sample of dialysate was obtained for white blood cell count (WBC), differential, Gram stain, and culture.
