title: Isolated lesser sac infection: an uncommon cause of abdominal pain in CAPD patients.
abstract: 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.
