Brucella peritonitis in a patient on peritoneal dialysis.
Brucellosis is endemic in Saudi Arabia. Brucella peritonitis is an uncommon clinical condition. We herewith report a 67-year-old man with chronic renal failure on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) for four months, who developed chronic brucella peritonitis. Peritoneal fluid grew brucella species with positive brucella serology.
