A 10-year retrospective review of pediatric patients on peritoneal dialysis showed that 50 of 83 had 132 episodes of exit-site infection (ESI). Thirty-nine episodes were purulent. The most prevalent organism was Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus epidermidis was also common, usually occurring in purulent infections. Gramnegative organisms were responsible for 23 ESls, with Pseudomonas species being the most common. Age, sex, concomitant primary disease type, length of training, dressing techniques, quality of daily dialysis technique, use of diapers, and pyelostomies did not affect the incidence of ESI. However, 40% of children with a skin infection from other sites had associated peritoneal catheter ESI. Thirty-eight episodes of ESI in 28 patients resulted in peritonitis; the main organisms involved were Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas species. Catheters were replaced in 13 patients with peritonitis, but there was no difference in the incidence of ESI before and after catheter replacement.

A young man, 28 years old, was admitted to Infectious Division with transaminases over 2500 U/ml, reduced cortical activity and decerebrate posturing. A prolonged APTT, Prothrombin below 15%, very low levels of Factor II, V, VII (5-20%). At III by S-2238 (17%), Antiplasmin (20%) and Plasminogen(5%) by S-2251, Preltallikrein by S-2302 (5%). Fibrinogen (70mg%) but very high VIII AHF(4.5U/ml}, VIII AGN (4.0U/ml) and VIII VWF (3.8U/ml) were recorded. After 3 daily dialysis sessions with polyacrilonitrile membrane (RP 6) a marked improvement was observed. The patient awoke while prothrombin and platelet recovery took place, fibrinogen,VIII AHF and Factor V rose over normal value to 600mg%, 7.5U/ml and 3U/ml rispectively. Antiplasmin, Plasminogen, PKK showed a slow but costant improvement. Unfortunatly a venous thrombosis and sepsis set in during the 2nd day after dialysis, with a rapid decrease of platelets. Heparin infusion 1 mg/kg b.w. was infused every 6 hrs. After 15days platelet returned to normal value and VIII AHF to initial level but it was still higher (4U/ml) than normal value after 2 mounths from recovery.
