  • Title: [Peritonitis in children treated with automated peritoneal dialysis].
    Author: Zurowska A, Bałasz I, Zagozdzon I, Marczak E.
    Journal: Pol Merkur Lekarski; 2001 Apr; 10(58):216-8. PubMed ID: 11434159.
    Abstract:
    The rate of peritonitis, its etiology and efficacy of treatment was compared between 28 children treated with APD for a total of 439 dialysis months and 24 children on CAPD treated for 328 dialysis months. The peritonitis rate was significantly lower in children on APD (1 episode per 27 months) than in children on CAPD (1 episode per 17 months) (p = 0.005). The etiology of peritonitis (68% v. 62% Gram + organisms), efficacy of treatment (100% v. 100%) and relapse rate did not differ between the machine operated and manual methods of peritoneal dialysis.
