“…It is a rare opportunistic organism in human infection, being even rarer in CAPD peritonitis. Previous reports (1-2) had described only 5 cases; however, our full literature review (1-3) located 9 additional cases (including the present case). Levitski–Heikkila and Ullian (3) summarized all 11 cases occurring before 2005.…”

“…Peritonitis because of Rhizobium radiobacter in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is rare. Earlier, Minguela et al (1) and Rothe and Rothenpieler (2) reported 5 cases pertaining to this species, and nearly all patients required catheter removal. However, with an updated database search (1-3), we found a total of 14 cases, among which 5 patients, including ours, achieved catheter rescue.…”

CORReSPOnDenCe intestinal wall, the final anal presentation of the migration 1 year after catheter insertion, and the uneventful removal by pulling the catheter without opening the abdomen, are miraculous and never before seen. We are uncertain how the catheter perforated the bowel, but we speculate that the intra-abdominal fistula spontaneously closed after catheter removal. DISCLOSUReSThe authors have no financial conflicts of interest to declare.

“…In 1997, the first case of peritonitis was described in an 11-year-old child with Down syndrome, chronic renal disease secondary to reflux nephropathy, and on peritoneal dialysis (7) . In this patient and in others described later (8)(9)(10) , it was necessary to remove the peritoneal dialysis catheter to control the infection. In the present case, the progression was favorable with no need to remove the catheter.…”

Rhizobium radiobacter (Agrobacterium radiobacter) is an aerobic Gram-negative rod belonging to Agrobacterium genus, a group of phytopathogenic bacteria present in the soil that has been implicated in human opportunistic infections. We report a clinical case of bacterial peritonitis in a 5-year-old child with chronic renal disease in peritoneal dialysis, who had a history of direct soil contact identified. The infection was treated with ceftazidime and piperaciline+tazobactam without relapses or the need to remove the peritoneal dialysis catheter.

“…Peritonitis in patients with peritoneal dialysis due to RR was first described in 1990 (4). Since then, there have been only a few case reports on peritonitis caused by RR (5-9). The antibiotic resistance patterns of RR in the case reports differ.…”

“…Cultures did not show RR during the second episode. We found 3 additional case reports (6-8): in 2, the PD catheter was removed after unsuccessful antibiotic treatment; in the third, the patient responded well to 3 weeks of intra-peritoneal antibiotic treatment and received a kidney transplant 6 months later.…”
