Peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis is a serious complication of peritoneal dialysis, and the prevention and treatment of this condition are important for improving the long-term survival and quality of life of patients. However, peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is relatively rare and not easily diagnosed. Here, we present a case of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis identified by pathogenic microbial DNA high-throughput genetic sequencing. This case demonstrates that pathogenic microbial DNA high-throughput genetic sequencing could be used to improve the detection rate of pathogenic microorganisms in patients with complex conditions, thereby allowing for earlier initiation of treatment.
腹膜透析相关性腹膜炎是腹膜透析的严重并发症，预防和治疗该疾病对于提高患者的长期生存率和生活质量至关重要。然而，由结核分枝杆菌感染引起的腹膜透析相关性腹膜炎较为少见，且不易诊断。在这里，我们报告了一例由结核分枝杆菌引起的腹膜透析相关性腹膜炎病例，该病例通过病原微生物 DNA 高通量基因测序得以确诊。该病例表明，病原微生物 DNA 高通量基因测序可用于提高复杂情况下患者的病原体检测率，从而更早地开始治疗。
