Although fungal organisms remain an uncommon cause of peritonitis in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis, it carries significant morbidity and mortality. We describe a 36-year-old woman who presented with peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis caused by dual infection with Staphylococcus caprae and Aspergillus fumigatus and discuss the challenges that were confronted regarding microbiological diagnosis and the selection of optimal antifungal treatment with subsequent successful resumption of peritoneal dialysis.
尽管真菌病原体仍然是腹膜透析患者腹膜感染的罕见原因,但它会带来显著的发病率和死亡率。我们描述了一位 36 岁女性,她因同时感染了山羊葡萄球菌和烟曲霉而发生了与腹膜透析相关的腹膜炎,并讨论了在微生物学诊断和选择最佳抗真菌治疗方面所面临的挑战,随后成功恢复了腹膜透析。
