    Author: Matsumoto N, Shiraga H, Takahashi K, Kikuchi K, Ito K.
    Journal: Pediatr Nephrol; 2002 Apr; 17(4):243-5. PubMed ID: 11956874.
    Abstract:
    Aspergillus peritonitis is a rare, potentially fatal complication of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). We report the successful treatment of refractory fungal peritonitis in an 8-year-old girl treated by peritoneal dialysis for 3.3 years. This is the second report of Aspergillus thermomutatus(telemorph: Neosartorya pseudofischeri) in humans. Comprehensive treatment included early removal of the CAPD catheter, the use of liposomal amphotericin B, and the use of itraconazole.
