Abstract

Gram-negative pathogen-induced continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis- (CAPD) related peritonitis is increasing, especially that caused by enteric pathogens. We describe a 54-year-old Taiwanese man with a case of Campylobacter jejuni-mediated CAPD-related peritonitis and bacteremia. Positive Campylobacter jejuni dialysate and blood cultures confirmed the diagnosis of CAPD-mediated systemic infection. We initially administered intraperitoneal ceftazidime, amikacin and oral azithromycin, but the patient did not recover. We then administered i.v. ciprofloxacin and replaced the hemodialysis (HD). The patient recovered and was discharged with maintenance HD. Treatment of Campylobacter jejuni-mediated CAPD peritonitis is a challenge in areas with high antibiotic resistance.
