  • Title: Successful treatment of Aspergillus peritonitis complicating peritoneal dialysis.
    Author: Prewitt K, Lockard J, Rodgers D, Hasbargen J.
    Journal: Am J Kidney Dis; 1989 Jun; 13(6):501-3. PubMed ID: 2729271.
    Abstract:
    Fungal peritonitis is an uncommon complication of peritoneal dialysis. There have been four reported cases of dialysis-related Aspergillus peritonitis. Only one patient survived and none have continued peritoneal dialysis. This report describes the first case of dialysis-related Aspergillus peritonitis that was able to continue peritoneal dialysis and reviews the previous cases. Dialysis catheter removal and intravenous amphotericin appear to be the most beneficial therapy.
