Continuous Ambulato1
Three patients were undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and two patients had been switched to hemodialysis (HD) when tuberculous peritonitis was diagnosed. (cshd.org.tr)
CAPD4
In conclusion, in children on CAPD or HD (previously treated by CAPD), tuberculous peritonitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of peritonitis, predominance of lymphocytosis in the peritoneal fluid and a prolonged course of "sterile" peritonitis unresponsive to conventional antibiotic treatment are present.
