- Abstract
- Peritonitis is one of the major complications of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Multidrug-resistant organisms, including vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), have been reported as pathogens of CAPD-associated peritonitis. The incidence of hospital-associated infections caused by VRE has recently increased. Some drugs, such as linezolid and quinupristin/dalfopristin, have been introduced as treatments of VRE infection. However, there is limited information about the effects of VRE-associated CAPD peritonitis. We present a case of successful treatment of CAPD peritonitis caused by VRE with quinupristin/dalfopristin and include a review of the literature.
