“…Except for the relatively low incidence, the characteristics of PFE in the present study showed rather different features as compared with those reported previously in some respects 2,3,7,8 . Although it has been known PFE resembles an allergic inflammatory response and peritoneal hypersensitivity to some allergens are responsible for the pathogenesis of PFE, 3,15–20 there were no significant differences in the factors known as possible allergens between patients with PFE and those without in the present study. In addition, the occurrence of PBE did not differ between patients with PFE and those without.…”

“…1 The causes of eosinophil peritonitis are often obscure; however, some cases may be related to allergic reaction, exposure to drug, fungal infection, and occurrence soon after catheter replacement. 2 In general, eosionophilic peritonitis is self-limiting and resolves spontaneously.…”

Eosinophilic peritonitis is an uncommon clinical entity with diagnostic considerations separate from those of tuberculous peritonitis. We report a patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) with eosinophilic peritonitis resulting from tuberculous peritonitis. Acid-fast stain and mycobacterial culture of peritoneal dialysis effluent were both negative result. In the peritoneal dialysis effluent and blood samples, Mycobacterium tuberculosis was detected by polymerase chain reaction analyses. The initiation of antituberculous therapy resulted in resolution of the eosionphilia in the dialysis effluent. After 14 days of antituberculous therapy, the polymerase chain reaction analyses of tuberculosis were negative for both the blood and peritoneal dialysis effluents. Evaluation of tuberculosis infection is necessary if the CAPD-related peritonitis presents with an unusual and unexplained clinical course. Polymerase chain reaction can play an important role in the diagnosis of tuberculous peritonitis in patients undergoing CAPD.
