title: [Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis--the infectious complications. The experience of the Nephrology Clinic of Iaşi].
abstract: 49 of 57 dialysis patients were included in CAPD programs. The age of these patients was ranged between 20-65 years. The mean dialysis interval was 19.7 months, the number of hospital admission being 182 (mean 1.7 +/- 1.2). The mean hospitalization interval was 26.2 +/- 2.0 days. The infectious abdominal wall complications included: exit site infections (10%), trumel infections (10%), properitoneal sepsis (21%). The inflammatory processes were resolved after conservator treatment using antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs (8%). Catheter removal was necessary in 2% of cases and the passage to hemodialysis was decided in other 2%. Peritonitis occurred in 0.73% patients (1 episode per 6 months of CAPD). These clinical data are better than those reported since now.
