    Author: König PS, Kronenberg F, Joannidis M, Dietl P, Lhotta K.
    Journal: Adv Perit Dial; 1991; 7():96. PubMed ID: 1680466.
    Abstract:
    A 27-year-old patient on CAPD presented with febrile illness and abdominal pain suggestive of peritonitis. Dialysis fluid culture yielded Enterococcus. Response to treatment was slow, with pain persisting. Laparotomy revealed a toothpick, which was causing peritoneal irritation. It was unclear how the foreign object entered the peritoneum.
