Pseudocyst Formation

Despite its numerous benefits, peritoneal dialysis (PD) can rarely result in dangerous and even life-threatening complications, including peritonitis, hernias, encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS), and rarely peritoneal pseudocysts. Herein, we present a rare case of a giant intra-peritoneal pseudocyst that presented four months following the discontinuation of a 5-year course of complicated PD. Despite the initially successful drainages, the patient’s symptoms continued to recur, and the imaging findings were concerning for underlying neoplastic processes. As such, a staged surgical approach was performed, starting with a diagnostic laparoscopy and was subsequently followed with cyst excision and marsupialization to the peritoneal cavity. While previous reports of such rare pseudocyst have been documented in the literature as a complication of PD, to our knowledge, this is the second case of pseudocyst formation to occur months after the discontinuation of PD therapy. This case emphasizes the importance of close follow-up in PD patients and showcases how a staged surgical approach can be utilized to accurately diagnose and manage such complicated cases.

Fungal peritonitis is a catastrophic complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) and often requires termination of PD. It is usually caused by Candida species. Here we report a rare case of Exserohilum peritonitis. The patient was successfully treated with catheter removal and anti-fungal therapy.

Peritonitis remains a common and serious complication of peritoneal dialysis. Peritonitis caused by gram-positive organisms includes coagulase-negative staphylococci, Streptococcus spp and Enterococcus spp. We present a rare case of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis, where persisting abdominal pain and worsening laboratory findings despite antibiotic therapy led to the identification of Enterococcus avium, requiring Tenckoff catheter removal and temporary transfer to haemodialysis. The available literature reports only few cases where peritonitis is caused by this agent, underlining the need to consider atypical microbial agents when heterogeneous clinical course is presented.

Aeromonas hydrophila (AH) is an aquatic bacterium. We present a case of fifty-five-year-old gentleman with chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to crescentic IgA nephropathy who presented to us with fever. He was recently pulsed with methyl prednisolone followed by oral prednisolone and discharged on maintenance dialysis through a double lumen dialysis catheter. Blood culture from peripheral vein and double lumen dialysis catheter grew AH. We speculate low immunity due to steroids and uremia along with touch contamination of dialysis catheter by the patient or dialysis nurse could have led to this rare infection. Dialysis catheter related infection by AH is rare. We present our case here and take the opportunity to give a brief review of AH infections in CKD patients.

Abstract Streptococcus salivarius is a Gram-positive bacteria that may cause infections like endocarditis and meningitis. However, it has not been reported as a causative agent of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients. In this paper we present a rare case of peritonitis with Streptococcus salivarius admitted to our Clinic with abdominal pain, who had been on peritoneal dialysis treatment for 19 months. Streptococus salivarius was cultured from the effluent, sensitive to ampicillin and penicillin G. Patient was discharged completely cured. Peritonitis is the most important clinical issue that occurs in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis, and every effort should be invested to determine the causative agent while even rare bacteria as Streptococcus salivarius may be found.

Sphingomonas species are ubiquitous gram-negative, aerobic bacteria frequently found in aquatic environments such as drinking water and very seldom in hemodialysis fluids or supposedly sterile drug solutions. Human infections with the gram-negative Sphingomonas species are rare and peritonitis with these organisms even rarer. Here we report a case of polymicrobial peritonitis due to Sphingomonas koreensis and Escherichia coli in a patient undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD).

We report a rare case of carbapenemase-producing enterobacte-riaceae peritonitis in a patient undergoing automated peritoneal dialysis (APD). The PD catheter had to be removed as the patient remained unwell despite antibiotics. Antimicrobial resistance in PD peritonitis is a concern in this era of multi-drug resistant bacteria.
