Isolated lesser sac infection: an uncommon cause of abdominal pain in CAPD patients.
Peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is characterized by abdominal pain and dialysate leukocytosis. Abdominal abscesses have been reported in PD patients with relapsing peritonitis. We report here 3 cases of lesser sac infection in PD patients who had severe abdominal pain but not generalized or diffuse peritonitis.
