Abstract
Peritonitis is the most common complication in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). Peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis caused by Brucella species has been reported in only 7 patients before. Here, we report a further case of Brucella peritonitis. This patient was successfully treated with both intraperitoneal and prolonged oral antibiotics, without removal of the PD catheter. We review relevant literature and make recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of Brucella PD-related peritonitis from the cumulative published clinical experience.
