Bordetella bronchiseptica peritonitis associated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. 1981

L H Byrd, and L Anama, and M Gutkin, and H Chmel

Bordetella bronchiseptica has rarely been reported as an opportunistic pathogen in humans. This is the first documented report of peritonitis due to B. bronchiseptica. The organism was seen on a Gram strain of peritoneal fluid and was isolated from a culture of the fluid. It was thought that the source of infection was related to the close contact of the patient with his dog. The patient was successfully treated with chloramphenicol administered intraperitoneally and intravenously.

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.
