A Rare Case of Peritoneal Dialysis-Associated Peritonitis Caused by Neisseria sicca.

Abstract

Peritonitis is a critical complication in peritoneal dialysis, often leading to peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment failure. We present a rare case of Neisseria sicca (NS)-related peritonitis in a 47-year-old male with multiple comorbidities. Despite NS's infrequent association with infections, prompt diagnosis and antibiotic therapy based on International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) guidelines led to a favorable outcome. This case emphasizes identifying uncommon pathogens in immunocompromised individuals and highlights the importance of prompt treatment to prevent morbidity.
