Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is known as a pathogen of occupational diseases or a zoonosis. We report a case of E. rhusiopathiae peritonitis in a 50-yr-old male undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). He was suffered from mild abdominal pain with a distinctive erysipeloid skin lesion. E. rhusiopathiae was considered to be introduced through a lacerated wound on his hand when he was exposed to contaminated materials. He was treated successfully with a first generation cephalosporin. To our knowledge, CAPD peritonitis due to E. rhusiopathiae is very rare, and this is a report of the first case in Asia.
红斑丹毒丝菌通常被认为是职业性疾病或动物源性传染病的病原体。我们报告了一例在接受持续非卧床腹膜透析（CAPD）的 50 岁男性中发生的红斑丹毒丝菌性腹膜炎。他表现为轻度腹痛，并伴有特征性丹毒样皮肤损伤。红斑丹毒丝菌被认为是通过他接触污染材料时手部的裂伤引入的。他成功地接受了第一代头孢菌素治疗。据我们所知，红斑丹毒丝菌引起的 CAPD 腹膜炎非常罕见，这是亚洲首例报告。
