In patients utilizing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most prevalent organism isolated from peritoneal and exit site infections [1] although clinically significant systemic infection is unusual. We report 2 patients undergoing CAPD who developed generalized lymphadenopathy following peritonitis and exit site infection with S. epidermidis isolated from the excised lymph nodes. We conclude that catheter-related S. epidermidis infection may result in generalized lymphadenopathy due to dissemination of the infective focus.
在采用持续性非卧床腹膜透析（CAPD）的患者中，表皮葡萄球菌是从腹膜和出口部位感染中分离出的最常见病原体[1]，不过具有临床意义的全身性感染并不常见。我们报告了2例接受CAPD的患者，他们在发生腹膜炎和出口部位感染后出现了全身性淋巴结病，从切除的淋巴结中分离出了表皮葡萄球菌。我们得出结论，与导管相关的表皮葡萄球菌感染可能由于感染灶的播散而导致全身性淋巴结病。
