Cloudy Effluent with Atypical Lymphocytes in a CAPD Patient: Case Report

Coxsackievirus B1 peritonitis in a patient treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis: a case report and brief review of the literature

“…Unfortunately, we were not able to demonstrate this in our case, possibly because of the short time period between the paired samples (10 days). PD effluent leukocytosis, predominantly lymphocytic or monocytic, was also reported in five of seven other published cases of viral CAPD peritonitis [2–8].…”

“…Our literature search revealed seven cases of viral peritonitis in patients undergoing CAPD [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. The characteristics of the cases, including our case, are given in Table 1.…”

“…Only a few cases of viral CAPD-associated peritonitis have been reported [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. It is unclear whether viral CAPDassociated peritonitis is truly infrequent or remains largely unrecognized because laboratory tests for the detection of viruses in peritoneal dialysis (PD) effluent or viral antibodies are not often performed.…”

Early diagnosis and successful treatment of cytomegalovirus peritonitis in children with primary nephrotic syndrome: case series and literature review

“…In our center, although WBC in ascites of four children were less than 250/mm 3 , they all showed the [3][4][5][6][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. Diagnostic methods for CMV infection and CMV-associated disease include isolation of the virus by culture, histology of biopsies, serologic methods, measurement of pp65 antigen in leucocytes, and detection of viral nucleic acids using molecular methods, particularly the polymerase chain reaction [31].…”
