Acute infectious peritonitis caused by Vibrio fluvialis.
Vibrio fluvialis is a Gram-negative, oxidase-producing, halophilic bacterium that, as a pathogen, has been implicated mainly as a cause of gastroenteritis. We describe a case of V. fluvialis peritonitis after a traffic accident that is, to our knowledge, the 1st report of non-continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis-related acute peritonitis caused by this organism.
