| Abstract |
|
Peritonitis is the most common infectious complication of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). However, CAPD-related peritonitis caused by Vibrio vulnificus is rarely reported. V. vulnificus is marine bacterium and opportunistic human pathogen. In an immunocompromised host, e.g. with chronic liver disease, end-stage renal disease, hemochromatosis, and other iron-overload disorders, this organism has been associated with the development of life-threatening primary septicemia and severe wound infection. However, CAPD-related peritonitis caused by V. vulnificus has not been reported, except for one case in Hong Kong, China. We report on two patients receiving CAPD who developed peritonitis caused by V. vulnificus after ingestion of seafood, for the first time in Korea.(Korean J Med 72:684-688, 2007)
