CONTINUOUS AMBULATORY PERITONEAL DIAL YSIS COMPLICATED BY FOURNIER'S SYNDROME

J. Joseph Walshe and Padma V. Reddy

From the Department of Medicine, State University of New York at Buffalo, Erie Country Medical Center, Renal Division, 462 Grider Street, Buffalo, NY 14215.

Two patients developed Fournier's syndrome while on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. In both cases, massive scrotal edema appears to have been the precipitating cause of the polymicrobial genital infection. Early recognition and prompt treatment of this syndrome is essential if one is to avoid the high morbidity and mortality associated with this disease.

KEY WORDS: CAPD; Fournier's syndrome; Infection; Scrotal edema.
