From December 1976 to July 1977 Pseudomonas aeruginosa was cultured from the dialysate of 8 hospital patients on peritoneal dialysis. Seven of the cases occurred within 1 month. The source of the epidemic was a water bath used to preheat the dialysis fluids before start of dialysis. Six patients developed a severe protracted peritonitis with Ps. aeruginosa. Continuous peritoneal dialysis with antibiotics added to the dialysis fluid did not eradicate infection, but after removal of the catheters signs of peritonitis subsided rapidly in all patients. In conclusion, water baths used for this purpose should be replaced by dry-heat incubators.
1976年12月至1977年7月期间，从8名接受腹膜透析的住院患者的透析液中培养出铜绿假单胞菌。其中7例发生在1个月内。疫情源头是一个在透析开始前用于预热透析液的水浴箱。6名患者因铜绿假单胞菌引发了严重的持续性腹膜炎。在透析液中添加抗生素进行持续腹膜透析并不能根除感染，但在拔除导管后，所有患者的腹膜炎症状迅速消退。总之，用于此目的的水浴箱应被干热培养箱取代。
