title: Fluconazole in the treatment of candida peritonitis in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis: report of a case.
abstract: There are no generally accepted therapeutic regimens for the treatment of fungal peritonitis in patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). We share our experience in the treatment of candida peritonitis using oral fluconazole. In CAPD patients with candida peritonitis, fluconazole seems to offer several advantages over other antifungal drugs.
