ABSTRACT
Recurrent peritonitis is the major complication of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and a common reason for discontinuation of this form of therapy. Polymicrobial peritonitis by gram- negative organisms suggests intraabdominal pathology not directly associated with CAPD, necessitating early removal of catheter and/or abdominal exploration. The source of infection may still be gastrointestinal, especially in light of the polymicrobial gram-negative peritonitis and rarely be gastrointestinal malignancy. We recently experienced a case of 64-year-old woman with recurrent CAPD peritonitis by polymicrobial gram-negative organisms, originated from colon cancer. Colon cancer was confirmed by barium enema, abdominal CT and colonoscopic biopsy. She underwent right hemicolectomy and removal of catheter simultaneously. The biopsy revealed a moderately to poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma with abundant mucin production.
