Peritonitis associated with infective endocarditis and vertebral osteomyelitis in a peritoneal dialysis patient

[1] PD-related peritonitis is most often due to touch contamination with pathogenic skin bacteria or to catheter-related infection. Laboratory tests were remarkable for peripheral white blood cell (WBC) count of 28,000/mm3 and hemoglobin level of 6.9 g/dL. Antibiotic treatment with intraperitoneal v...

Laboratory tests were remarkable for peripheral white blood cell (WBC) count of 28,000/mm3 and hemoglobin level of 6.9 g/dL. Antibiotic treatment with intraperitoneal vanco- mycin was initiated and then changed into parenteral oxacillin when the cultures of PD effluent and blood both reported to grow oxacillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus.
