title: Vibrio fluvialis peritonitis in a patient receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
abstract: We describe a case of peritonitis due to Vibrio fluvialis in a patient receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis; we believe the case to be associated with the consumption of poorly prepared seafood. This was shown to be an important but rare cause of recurrent infection in our patient.
