  • Title: [Peritonitis in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis: diagnosis and treatment].
    Author: Bénévent D, Lagarde C, Benzakour M.
    Journal: Nephrologie; 1989; 10 Suppl():43-5. PubMed ID: 2682310.
    Abstract:
    Several antibiotic regimens to treat CAPD related peritonitis have been published. Some of them do not have any severe side effect. But they are efficient in less than 2/3 of the cases. Other treatments (2 antibiotics, one of them is an aminoglycoside) are more frequently efficient, but they seem to have severe ototoxicity. We propose the use of cephalosporins and quinolones for first line treatment of CAPD peritonitis. This regimen seem highly efficient without severe side effect.
