Issue Date: | 2012 | Publisher: | WILEY-BLACKWELL | Source: | CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY AND INFECTION, 18 (10), p. E431-E434 | Abstract: | Clin Microbiol Infect 2012; 18: E431E434 Abstract We report a case of viral peritonitis caused by coxsackievirus B1 in a 79-year-old male undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), and review the English language literature. Clinicians should be aware of viral peritonitis in patients on CAPD presenting with a viral syndrome and mononuclear peritoneal dialysis effluent. Currently, viral diagnostic tests are available to confirm the diagnosis and avoid unnecessary treatment with antibiotics. | Notes: | [Pauwels, S.] Catholic Univ Louvain, Univ Hosp Leuven, Lab Med, B-3000 Louvain, Belgium.
