Abstract

Micrococcus strains which are the normal flora members of skin, mucosa and oropharynx, may lead to infections associated with intravenous catheter, chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, venticular shunt and prosthetic valve. In this paper, a case of peritonitis due to Kocuria rosea of Micrococcea family, in a patient undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), was presented. Fiftysix years old female patient was admitted to the hospital by complaints of abdominal pain, nausea and fever. The patient was undergoing CAPD due to chronic renal failure for one and a half year and turbidity was detected in the peritoneal fluid during dialysis. Examination of the peritoneal fluid revealed 1800 cells/mm3, with no evidence of bacteria in Gram and Ziehl-Neelsen stained smears. No bacterial growth was detected in conventional culture media, however, bacteria was isolated from the peritoneal fluid culture on second day by Bactec (Becton Dickinson, USA) automated blood culture system. By means of API identification system (bioMerieux, USA), the causative agent was identified as Kocuria rosea. The patient was successfully treated with intraperitoneal teicoplanin (4 x 40 mg) for 14 days. In conclusion, in patients undergoing CAPD, rare pathogens should be considered in case of peritonitis and peritoneal fluid samples should be inoculated into automated culture systems.

Özet

Deri, mukoza ve orofarenkste normal flora üyesi olarak bulunan Micrococcus cinsi bakteriler, intravenöz kateter, kronik ayaktan periton diyalizi, ventriküler şant ve prostetik kapakla ilişkili enfeksiyonlara neden olabilen fırsatçı patojenlerdir. Bu raporda, Micrococcus türleri arasında yer alan Kocuria rosea'ya bağlı peritonit gelişen bir sürekli ayaktan periton diyalizi (CAPD) olgusu sunulmaktadır. Kronik böbrek yetmezliği nedeniyle 1.5 yıldır periton diyalizi programında olan ve CAPD yapılan 56 yaşında kadın hasta, 37.3°C ateş, karın ağrısı, periton sıvısında bulanıklık ve bulantı şikayetleriyle kliniğimize müracaat etmiştir. Periton sıvısının incelemesinde; hücre sayısı 1800/mm3 olarak saptanmış, Gram ve aside dirençli bo¬yamada mikroorganizma görülmemiştir. Periton sıvısından konvansiyonel besiyerlerine (EMB ve kanlı agar) yapılan ekimlerde bakteri üremesi saptanmamış, ancak Bactec (Becton Dickinson, ABD) otomatize sistemine ekim yapılan örnekten 2. günde izole edilen bakteri API sistemi (bioMerieux, ABD) ile K.rosea olarak tanımlanmıştır. Hastaya 14 gün süreyle intraperitoneal teikoplanin (4 x 40 mg) tedavisi uygulanmış ve hasta şifa ile taburcu edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, CAPD hastalarında gelişen peritonitlerde nadir patojenlerin de etken olabileceği akılda tutulmalı ve periton sıvısı örnekleri otomatize kültür sistemlerine de ekilmelidir.
