During the past two decades opportunistic fungal infections have emerged as important causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with severe underlying illnesses. A few cases of Acremonium spp. infections have been described in immunocompromised patients, but they have on occasion been reported as the cause invasive disease in immunocompetent individuals. Peritonitis is a common clinical problem that occurs in patients with end-stage renal disease treated by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Yeasts, or rarely molds, may also cause peritonitis in patients on CAPD and we present here a case caused by Acremonium strictum.
在过去二十年中，机会性真菌感染已成为严重基础疾病患者发病和死亡的重要原因。免疫功能低下患者中曾有几例枝顶孢属感染的病例报道，但偶尔也有报告称其为免疫功能正常个体侵袭性疾病的病因。腹膜炎是持续性非卧床腹膜透析（CAPD）治疗的终末期肾病患者中常见的临床问题。酵母，或很少见的霉菌，也可能导致CAPD患者发生腹膜炎，我们在此报告一例由紧密枝顶孢引起的病例。
