Abstract:
This article reports a case of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis caused by Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies dysgalactiae. The patient was an elderly female with a previous diagnosis of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis with renal involvement and chronic kidney disease stage 5. She had been receiving regular PD therapy for 8 years. She was admitted to the hospital due to abdominal pain and cloudy peritoneal dialysate for 10 hours, and the peritoneal dialysate culture result was positive for Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies dysgalactiae. She was treated with intraperitoneal vancomycin and intravenous ampicillin for anti-infection, but the therapeutic effect was poor. Therefore, the PD catheter was removed and the patient was discharged after the condition was improved.
