“…A Chinese series of flexible colonoscopy procedures among PD patients noted a 6.3% incidence of peritonitis without pre-procedural antibiotics, while none in the patients receiving antibiotic prophylaxis [8]. Current recommendations [1,4,9,10] have focused on antibiotic prophylaxis for PD patients undergoing lower gastrointestinal procedures, especially colonoscopy. To decrease the risk of peritonitis, ampicillin and an aminoglycoside with or without anaerobic coverage (metronidazole) should be given prior to the procedure and the abdomen should also be emptied of any dialysate fluid before starting the procedure.…”

Aims: To recognize the importance of considering perforation of viscus in the differential of peritonitis after upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in peritoneal dialysis patients and to address the potential benefit of antibiotic prophylaxis in PD patients undergoing upper GI procedures. Presentation of Case: We report the case of a 54-year-old African American female with end-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis presenting with generalized abdominal pain, along with nausea and vomiting. Peritoneal fluid revealed a WBC count of 1,499/mm 3 . Two days earlier, she had undergone an esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsy. Broad spectrum antibiotics were started to treat possible peritonitis. Case Study

“…[51] The British Society of Gastroenterology and the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy have similar recommendations on the prophylactic use of antibiotics for ERCP. [52,53] Patients with ongoing cholangitis who will be needing therapeutic endoscopic intervention should always be on appropriate antimicrobial therapy upon admission to hospital. Additional pre-ERCP antimicrobial prophylaxis is not normally recommended for those who are already taking antibiotics therapeutically for cholangitis.…”
