ABSTRACT
AIM:
To determine the risk factors and outcome of fungal peritonitis in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients over a 7-year period. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
This retrospective study was conducted on 30 cases of fungal peritonitis in CAPD patients during a 7-year period (2000-2007). The diagnosis was based on elevated CAPD effluent count and isolation of fungi. Patients were evaluated for previous episode of bacterial peritonitis.RESULTS:
The incidence of fungal peritonitis was 16.2%. Age varied between 8 and 75 years, with a mean age of 57 years. Twenty-three were males (76.7%) and seven were females (23.3%). Seventeen patients (56.6%) had previous episodes of bacterial peritonitis that was treated with multiple antibiotics. The common fungus was Candida species (50%). CAPD catheter removal and initiation of antifungal therapy was done for all patients. Reinsertion was done for three (10%) patients. Mortality rate was 20%.CONCLUSION:
Patients with previous bacterial peritonitis and antibiotic usage are at greater risk of developing fungal peritonitis.
