Flavimonas oryzihabitans Peritonitis in Patients with Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis: Report of 2 cases / 대한임상병리학회지

ABSTRACT

Flavimonas oryzihabitans is a gram-negative, glucose non-fermentative bacillus, and is rarely reported as a pathogen in human. In recent years, reports of infection due to F. oryzihabitans, especially in immunocompromised patients with indwelling catheter or peritoneal Tenckhoff catheter have increased. We report two cases of F. oryzihabitans peritonitis in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).
