This paper reports a case of infection due to Histoplasma capsulatum apparently restricted to the peritoneum in a woman submitted to continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Diagnosis was established by direct examination and culture of dialysis effluent. Although the state of Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost in Brazil, is not considered a region of high endemicity for histoplasmosis, this is the second case of infection occurring in a patient during CAPD.
本文报告了一例荚膜组织胞浆菌感染病例，该感染显然局限于一名接受持续性非卧床腹膜透析（CAPD）的女性患者的腹膜。通过对透析液进行直接检查和培养确诊。尽管巴西南部最南端的南里奥格兰德州不被认为是组织胞浆菌病的高流行地区，但这是该州第二例在CAPD患者中发生的感染病例。
