ABSTRACT
Peritonitis is a major complication of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and it remains the leading cause of patient droupout. VRE is a very serious pathogen because it is difficult to eradicate due to very limited effective antibiotics and because there is a possibility of transfer of this resistance to other gram-positive organisms including Staphylo-coccus aureus. We experienced a case of CAPD peritonitis by VRE, which was treated with high dose ampicillin and streptomycin without removal of CAPD catheter. We report our experience of CAPD peritonitis caused by VRE and review the literature.
