Abstract
Fungal peritonitis (FP) is a rare but devastating complication in peritoneal dialysis (PD), accounting for high rates of technique failure, morbidity and mortality. This study was conducted to investigate FPs with regard to peritonitis rate, microbiology testing, patient characteristics, clinical features, antifungal treatments, and clinical outcomes in patients on PD. This single-center study retrospectively reviewed all FP episodes diagnosed from June 1, 2012 to June, 2017. All FPs were matched in a 1:5 ratio with PD patients diagnosed with bacterial peritonitis. Clinical, biochemical characteristics and detailed data on peritonitis episodes were recorded. Eleven fungal peritonitis episodes (rate of 0.0067 episodes per patient-year on dialysis) were identified. All FPs were caused by Candida species (identification and antifungal susceptibility testing were performed with VITEK 2® compact system), including C. albicans (6/11), C. parapsilosis (4/11) and C. krusei (1/11). Except C. krusei, no Candida resistance to fluconazole was detected. Compared to bacterial peritonitis (matched cases, n = 55), FP group showed higher rate of previous antibiotic use (p = 0.002), higher total effluent cell count (p = 0.007), and lower serum a...Continue Reading
