T .D.I. Cartmill, J.S. Tapson* and R. Freeman

From the Department of Microbiology, Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, * Renal Medicine, Freeman Hospital.

A micro method, Limulus lysate assay, has been used to determine the presence, or otherwise, of endotoxin in the emuents of various groups of CAPD patients. Endotoxin, a freely diffusable product of most gramnegative organisms was not detected in emuents of 11 asymptomatic trainers. Only 1/33 proven gram positive episodes of peritonitis and 1/21 patients with illnesses other than peritonitis were positive for endotoxin.
