Abstract

Introduction: Fungal PERITONITIS (FP), causing catheter obstruction, dialysis failure, and peritoneal dysfunction, is a rare but serious complication of peritoneal dialysis. In this study, the frequency and risk factors of FP are evaluated in children who underwent peritoneal dialysis. Materials and Methods: A retrospective multicenter study was performed at the 5 PEDIATRIC peritoneal dialysis centers in IRAN from 1971 to 2006, and FP episodes among 93 children were reviewed. Risk ratios were calculated for the clinical and demographic variables to determine the risk factors of FP. Results: Ninety-three children aged 39 months on average were included in study. Sixteen out of 155 episodes of PERITONITIS were fungi infections, all by Candida albicans. The risk of FP was higher in those with relapsing bacterial PERITONITIS (P=.009). Also, all of the patients had received antibiotics within the 1 month prior to the development of FP. Catheters were removed in all patients after 1 to 7 days of developing FP. Six out of 12 patients had catheter obstruction and peritoneal loss after the treatment and 5 died due to infection. Conclusions: Fungal PERITONITIS, accompanied by high morbidity and mortality in children should be reduced by prevention of bacterial PERITONITIS. Early removal of catheter after recognition of FP should be considered.
