Abstract

Corynebacterium minutissimum is a part of normal skin flora. A case of peritonitis due to C. minutissimum in a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patient is reported. To date peritonitis due to C. minutissimum has been reported twice before. This bacterium should be kept in mind as a possible agent in CAPD patients with peritonitis.

Özet

Corynebacterium minutissimum cilt florasında bulunabilen bir bakteridir. Bu olgu sunumunda sürekli ayaktan periton diyalizi tedavisi (SAPD) uygulanmakta olan bir hastada C. minutissimum'un neden olduğu bir peritonit tablosu takdim edilmektedir. Bugüne kadar C. minutissimum'un peritonit etkeni olduğu iki olgu rapor edilmiştir. SAPD tedavisi uygulanan hastalarda peritonit etkeni olarak C. minutissimum akılda tutulmalıdır.
