ABSTRACT
Infections are the second leading cause of mortality among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Recently, colonization or infection with vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) is increasing in prevalence at many institutions and is often reported in dialysis patients. Enterococci are generally considered to be of low pathogenicity but may cause urinary tract infection, bacteremia, endocarditis or meningitis in debilitated patients. Three cases of VRE peritonitis in patients on CAPD were reported, but there was no report of VRE urinary tract infection (UTI) in hemodialysis patients in Korea. We present a case of VRE UTI with pseudomembranous colitis (PMC) in an ESRD patient with anal VRE colonization. The VRE UTI was treated successfully with linezolid.
