Peritonitis and Intra-abdominal Abscess by Trichoderma longibrachiatum in a Patient Undergoing Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) / 대한신장학회지

ABSTRACT

Peritonitis by Trichoderma longibrachiatum in patients undergoing CAPD has been reported rarely in the literature. We describe a case of peritonitis and intra-abodominal abscess caused by an unusual fungus, Trichoderma longibrachiatum, in a patient undergoing CAPD. The patient was successfully treated with catheter removal, anti-fungal agents and appropriate drainage.
