Abstract

A sixty two-year-old woman receiving chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) was admitted to our dialysis unit with complaints of abdominal pain, abdominal tenderness and fever, for few days. In the gram stained examination of the turbid peritoneal aspirate, increased number of neutrophillis with Gram-negative, small, coccobasillary bacterial morphology were seen. The diagnosis of peritonitis was established according to the clinical and laboratory findings, and Haemophilus influenzae grew from the peritoneal aspirate culture. The patient was fully recovered after two weeks of antibiotic treatment and any problem related to this infection was not seen for six months of follow up. In this study, we have aimed to remind H. influenzae as a rare causative agent of peritonitis among CAPD patients.

Özet

Beş yıldır sürekli ayaktan periton diyaliz (SAPD) uygulanan 62 yaşındaki bir kadın hasta, bir-iki günlük karın ağrısı, batın hassasiyeti ve ateş yakınmalarıyla diyaliz ünitemize başvurdu. Bulanık peritoneal aspiratın gram boyalı incelemesinde çok sayıda nötrofil ve Gram-negatif küçük kokobasil morfolojisinde bakteri izlendi. Klinik ve laboratuvar bulguları ile peritonit tanısı alan hastanın peritoneal aspirat kültüründe Haemophilus influenzae üredi. iki haftalık antibiyotik tedavisi ile tamamen iyileşen hastanın altı aylık takibinde de herhangi bir sorun gelişmedi. Bu çalışmada, SAPD hastalarında H. influenzae'ntn nadiren de olsa peritonite neden olabileceği hatırlatılmıştır.
