The purpose of this study was to analyse the microbiological characteristics of infectious peritonitis in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. This study was conducted at the CHU Nancy from 1999 to 2002. The diagnosis of peritonitis was based on cloudy peritoneal effluent (>100 cells per mm3) with an elevated leukocyte count (>50%), on isolation of bacteria or fungi and on symptoms such as abdominal discomfort or pain. The majority of infections associated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis were caused by Gram-positive bacteria (68%), Gram-negative bacteria (31%), and Candida (1%). The coagulase-negative staphylococci were the most common cause of peritonitis. The antibiotic sensitivity of species corresponded to community-acquired isolation.
