Abstract

There are increasing numbers of reports of peritonitis caused by fungi in children undergoing continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis. Most of these cases are due to the Candida species, although other fungi have been reported. We report the first case (to our knowledge) of successfully treated Aspergillus peritonitis in a child on continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis.

Aspergillosis is the name given to a wide variety of diseases caused by infection by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems. Chronic colonization or infection can cause complications in people with underlying respiratory illnesses. Discover the latest research on aspergillosis here.
