Case Report: Two Cases of Mycobacterium Abscessus Peritonitis in Patients on Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD)

Abstract

NTM peritonitis in CAPD patients can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. It is thus vital to have high index of suspicion if CAPD peritonitis patients do not respond to conventional antimicrobial therapy. Accurate early diagnosis and prompt treatment with appropriate antimicrobials may improve patients' outcomes.
