Abstract
- Despite the frequent occurrence of peritonitis in patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), fungal peritonitis is uncommon and usually associated with antibiotics and immunodeficiency. Most of the fungal isolates are usually Candida albicans, Candida parapsilosis, Candida guilliermondii or Candida torulopsis. The authors report a case of fungal CAPD related peritonitis due to Candida zeylanoides that occurred in a patient with the absence of the usual risk factors for fungal peritonitis. Treatment with intravenous fluconazole was successful.
