Peritonitis involving Capnocytophaga ochracea. 1985

J E Mortensen, and A LeMaistre, and D G Moore, and A Robinson

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, due to Capnocytophaga ochracea, developed in a 65-year-old alcoholic patient with extensive cirrhosis and ascites. Previously reported human infections with this organism have included peridontal diseases, septicemia, and arthritis. This is the first report of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis associated with Capnocytophaga species.

D010538	Peritonitis	INFLAMMATION of the PERITONEUM lining the ABDOMINAL CAVITY as the result of infectious, autoimmune, or chemical processes. Primary peritonitis is due to infection of the PERITONEAL CAVITY via hematogenous or lymphatic spread and without intra-abdominal source. Secondary peritonitis arises from the ABDOMINAL CAVITY itself through RUPTURE or ABSCESS of intra-abdominal organs.
