Fungal peritonitis due to Curvularia species in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis is a very rare problem. We report a case of peritonitis caused by Curvularia inaequalis. This is the first report in the English literature of this species causing human infection. We also review the six previously reported cases of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis peritonitis caused by other Curvularia species.
腹膜透析患者中由弯孢属真菌引起的真菌性腹膜炎是一个非常罕见的问题。我们报告一例由不等弯孢引起的腹膜炎病例。这是该物种引起人类感染的英文文献中的首例报告。我们还回顾了先前报道的其他弯孢属物种引起的6例持续性非卧床腹膜透析腹膜炎病例。
