Ten-year experience with fungal peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients: antifungal susceptibility patterns in a North-American center
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical and microbiological features associated with fungal peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients at Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont, from August 1996 to July 2006. METHODS: Cases were retrieved from the microbiology laboratory culture registry. Antifungal susceptibility was determined by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute M27A3 method. RESULTS: Among 288 PD patients (total follow-up of 7258 patient-months), nine were found with fungal peritonitis. Candida spp were identified in all of them, with a majority of non-albicans Candida species. Resistance to fluconazole, itraconazole, or voriconazole was as frequent as potential resistance to amphotericin B. No isolate was resistant to caspofungin and one was resistant to micafungin. Prior bacterial peritonitis was frequent (67%). All patients had their PD catheter removed and all of them survived. CONCLUSIONS: In our institution, fungal peritonitis in PD patients is rare. All cases were caused by Candida species. Variable susceptibility patterns were observed, which may influence the initial empirical antifungal therapy and underscore the importance of individual speciation and susceptibility testing of invasive Candida isolates.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
