Successful Treatment of Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter-Related Chryseobacterium indologenes Peritonitis Without Catheter Removal

Abstract

Peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis remains a major complication of peritoneal dialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease. The literature contains only a limited number of reports on Chryseobacterium indologenes. C. indologenes is a rare organism that has been reported to cause infections mostly in hospitalized patients with severe underlying diseases. We describe a case of C. indologenes peritonitis in a patient with continous peritoneal dialysis who received successful treatment without removal of the catheter.
