Pos-687 Peritoneal Dialysis-associated Haemophilus Influenzae Peritonitis: Case Presentation and Review of Literature
Year: 2022
Type: conference-abstract
Abstract: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) provides patients with an alternative to hemodialysis (HD) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD), allowing patients greater flexibility to accommodate variable schedules. However, PD comes with risks including peritonitis as its major complication. We present a case of PD-associated peritonitis (PDAP) with Haemophilus influenzae, an unusual etiologic agent, with a review of available literature.
