  • Title: Catheter infections during continuous peritoneal dialysis.
    Author: Dale SE, Anderson PC.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 1987 Jan; 16(1 Pt 2):205-8. PubMed ID: 3819053.
    Abstract:
    A typical tunnel infection is described in a patient receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. This complication of peritoneal dialysis is important to study and manage well because the infection leads to removal of the catheter and interruption of therapy. Most infections are due either to Staphylococcus aureus or to S. epidermidis.
