Symptomatic Acinetobacter calcoaceticus peritonitis. "A complication of peritoneal dialysis".
Acinetobacter Calcoaceticus peritonitis was seen during the course of peritoneal dialysis in two patients with end-stage kidney disease within a 3-month period. In one patient, the isolate was A. Calcoaceticus Varient Anitratus (formerly Herellea Vaginicola) and in the other it was A. Calcoaceticus Lwoffi (formerly Mima Polymorpha). Both were successfully treated with continuous peritoneal antibiotic lavage.
