Abstract: This paper reports a case of peritonitis caused by Campylobacter fetus in a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patient. The patient was a middle-aged man, with chronic kidney disease stage 5 secondary to chronic glomerulonephritis, and had been on CAPD for 6 years. He was admitted to our department with a 7 day history of abdominal pain and cloudy effluent. Peritoneal effluent culture was negative and metagenomic next-generation sequencing suggested Campylobacter fetus. Intraperitoneal treatment with amikacin was failed. Peritoneal dialysis catheter was removed and hemodialysis treatment was performed. After treatment of erythromycin oral for 4 weeks, the patient's symptoms was improved and discharged.
