title: [Pasteurella multocida and Candida albicans peritonitis].
abstract: Peritonitis is a well-known complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment. Repetitive episodes may induce an irreversible damage of the peritoneal membrane and are a frequent cause of PD drop-out. The great majority of the episodes are due to Staphylococci, Streptococci or gram- negative organisms. Unusual organisms have been reported, specially in immunosuppressed hosts. Few cases of Pasteurella Multocida (PM) have been described in PD patients. To our knowledge, we describe the first case preceding a Candida Albicans (CA) peritonitis. A review of the literature of PM peritonitis and the relation between these two microorganisms is discussed.
