FUNGAL EOSINOPHILIC PERITONITIS DUE TO ALTERNARIA IN A PATIENT ON CONTINUOUS AMBULATORY PERITONEAL DIALYSIS

Jean-Daniel Horisberger*, Jacques Bille** and Jean-Pierre Wauters*

From the * Division of Nephrology and** Laboratory of Medical Microbiology, University Hospital, 1011 Lausanne, Switzerland,

We describe an unusual episode of fungal peritonitis, caused by an Alternaria species and associated with a persistent eosinophilia in peritoneal fluid and blood. Peritoneal and systemic eosinophilia, persisting long after catheter insertion and, associated with the signs of peritonitis, should arouse suspicion of a fungus infection.

KEY WORDS: CAPD; fungal peritonitis; eosinophilic peritonitis; Alternaria.
