Abstract:
Peritonitis is one of the leading complications of PD peritonitis. A rapid and accurate microbiological diagnosis helps in the appropriate management of PD related infections. A retrospective analysis of 97 samples from 73 patients from 3 centers (Madras Medical Mission, Railway Hospital and Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital) with PD related peritonitis was done. Automated culture techniques, special stains and molecular techniques were used in the diagnosis of the organisms. The aim of this study was to determine the causes of culture positive and negative peritonitis and throw light on the microbiological profile of PD peritonitis.
