Few Data

Fungal infection is an extremely rare etiology of exit-site and tunnel infection in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). There are few data available regarding its management—especially choice of antifungals, duration of therapy, and removal of catheter. There are no guidelines pertaining to reinsertion of the CAPD catheter following fungal exit-site and tunnel infection. This case report highlights Candida albicans as a rare cause of exit-site and tunnel infection of the CAPD catheter. The catheter was removed and the patient received appropriate antifungal therapy followed by reinsertion of the CAPD catheter and re-initiation on CAPD.

Ultrafiltration Failure

Among 155 patients who were initiated on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), 4 patients (2 men, 2 women) developed tuberculous peritonitis. They had been on PD for between 2 months and 84 months when they developed the peritonitis. The Mantoux test was negative in all of them. The diagnosis was made by a variety of means in the various cases: demonstration of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the peritoneal cavity; presence of caseating granuloma in a peritoneal biopsy; Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a cold abscess adjacent to the peritoneal cavity; and demonstration of IS6110 and MPB64 genes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. Two of the patients developed ultrafiltration failure. Among 3 patients who were switched to hemodialysis, 2 died and 1 continues on maintenance dialysis. The last patient, whose catheter was removed, was reimplanted with a new catheter and continues on PD without ultrafiltration failure. Any patient with peritonitis unresponsive to conventional therapy should be investigated for tuberculous peritonitis. Institution of chemotherapy without delay will preserve peritoneal membrane integrity.
