[Bacteriologic aspects of peritonitis in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis]
Abstract
Despite the many advantages of chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, peritonitis continues to be a major complication. Gram+ cocci tend to form the major part in the group of causative agents. Various methods have been employed to increase the sensitivity of culture. Data from pertinent studies are compared with our own experiences.
