Elizabethkingia meningoseptica: An Uncommon Cause of Peritonitis In Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Peritonitis is a major complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) and due to its gravity, it remains the primary reason to switch from PD to hemodialysis.

| description | Peritonitis is a major complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) and due to its gravity, it remains the primary reason to switch from PD to hemodialysis. Elizabethkingia meningoseptica, a non-fermentative Gram-negative bacillus, is rarely encountered as a pathogen causing peritonitis in adults. We present here a case report of an acquired infection with this organism in adult on PD. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of infection with this organism in a continuous ambulatory PD patient in Tunisia. |
