- Abstract
- Fungal peritonitis in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients is rare. But, it is a serious complication of CAPD because of high morbidity and mortality. It is very important to diagnose and treat such infections promptly, as otherwise it has a poor prognosis. We experienced a case of peritonitis in a CAPD patient that was caused by Aspergillus flavus detected by fungal balls in blood culture bottles and treated successfully by administering anti-fungal agents and removing the peritoneal dialysis catheter.
