A 32-year-old man on peritoneal dialysis (PD) was hospitalized for seven days due to fever. A diagnosis of yeast-like fungal peritonitis was made by Gram staining. The patient was started on intravenous micafungin and oral fluconazole therapy following removal of the PD catheter. A fungal pathogen was isolated from the peritoneal fluid and identified as Cryptococcus species. Based on antifungal susceptibility testing, the treatment was changed to voriconazole and continued for 3 months. A genetic analysis identified the isolate as Cryptococcus laurentii (C. laurentii). This patient was diagnosed with C. laurentii PD-related peritonitis and was successfully treated with voriconazole and removal of the PD catheter.
一名32岁接受腹膜透析(PD)的男性因发热住院7天。通过革兰氏染色诊断为酵母样真菌性腹膜炎。拔除PD导管后,患者开始接受静脉注射米卡芬净和口服氟康唑治疗。从腹膜液中分离出一种真菌病原体,鉴定为隐球菌属。根据抗真菌药敏试验,治疗改为伏立康唑,并持续3个月。基因分析确定该分离株为罗伦隐球菌(C. laurentii)。该患者被诊断为罗伦隐球菌相关性PD腹膜炎,并通过伏立康唑治疗和拔除PD导管成功治愈。
