The normal flora of the skin in different age groups. Morris AJ, Henderson GK, Bremner DA, Collins JF. The diagnosis of peritonitis was based on standard criteria [Peritonitis episodes were treated with a standard antibiotic protocol of our centre.
Treatment with vancomycin rarely causes reversible The risk of ototoxicity has been assessed in a prospective study in 16 patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis treated with two infusions of vancomycin (30 mg/kg) in 2 liters of peritoneal dialysate administered at 6-day intervals for episodes of peritonitis [Vancomycin can cause irreversible bilateral sensorineural hearing loss.A 63-year-old white man was treated with vancomycin 1 g/day for 4 days because of In a prospective multicenter study in 152 children with peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis one patient with vancomycin intoxication had a 20–30 dB increase in hearing threshold [Hearing loss due to vancomycin toxicity has been treated by hemoperfusion and hemodialysis [A 14-month-old girl with chronic renal insufficiency due to renal dysplasia was empirically treated with ceftazidime and vancomycin for fever. Another four episodes of peritonitis caused by penicillin-resistant strains were treated with cephalosporins initially. Relapsing peritonitis in a patient undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis due to de Wit D, Mulla R, Burns A, Phelps RG. The response rate was marginally lower than that of fresh cases treated with vancomycin (Contrary to the decreasing incidence of peritonitis caused by Because of the retrospective nature of our study, the exact grouping and species of the PD, peritoneal dialysis; HD, haemodialysis; CDC, Center for Disease Control and Prevention of United States.PD, peritoneal dialysis; HD, haemodialysis; CDC, Center for Disease Control and Prevention of United States.For recurrent peritonitis, catheter exchange after dialysis effluent cleared up, without temporary haemodialysis support, has been advocated for other organisms [This study was supported in part by the CUHK research account 6901031.Somerville DA.

Thrombocytopenia was noted as significant consequence of hemoperfusion. All bacterial strains isolated were sensitive to vancomycin. Corynebacterium jeikeium can cause various infections, such as bloodstream infection, diphtheroid endocarditis of prosthetic valve, skin and wound infections, catheter-related infections, enteritis, meningitis, osteomyelitis, peritonitis, pneumonia, prosthetic joint …

Thank you for submitting a comment on this article. Theoretically, PD patients are at risk of C. jeikeiuminfection because of the potential for introducing the bacteria during dialysate exchanges. They live in dynamic equilibrium with other resident gram-positive organisms such as Staphylococcus and Micrococcus sp [ 2 ]. Search for other works by this author on:
