Catheter-related peritonitis is common but rarely caused by fungal infection. We report the first case of PD patients with catheter-related peritonitis form , a black yeast-like dematiaceous fungus, and reviewing the relevant literatures. A potential cause of this infection is poor hand hygiene and improper fingernail care. The infection could be prevented if patient and caregiver strictly follow hand-washing protocols.
导管相关腹膜炎很常见，但很少由真菌感染引起。我们报告了首例腹膜透析（PD）患者发生由一种黑色酵母样暗色真菌引起的导管相关腹膜炎的病例，并回顾了相关文献。这种感染的一个潜在原因是手部卫生不良和指甲护理不当。如果患者和护理人员严格遵守洗手规范，这种感染是可以预防的。
