Department of Nephrology-St. Bortolo Hospital -Vicenza, Italy.

From January 1975 to Apri11982, 10 of our patients undergoing chronic peritoneal dialysis developed fungal peritonitis. Of six treated without removing the catheter two survived after intraperitoneal (IP) administration of imidazole derivatives, and four died despite combined IP and intravenous (IV) therapy. Of four patients treated by catheter removal, all survived, two without any additional therapy and two after IV antifungal treatment. Three of the deaths followed cardiac or cerebral accidents, while one was related to Candida sepsis.

KEY WORDS: Fungi; peritoneal dialysis; peritonitis.
