Abstract
A 27-year-old male patient on CAPD presented to our clinic with a 2-day history of nausea, abdominal pain and cloudy peritoneal fluid. Intraperitoneal (ip) ceftazidime and vancomycin were empirically initiated based on the diagnosis of peritonitis. Microbiological examination of peritoneal fluid showed that Kytococcus sedentarius was the causative agent. On day 3, ceftazidime was discontinued. After 14 days of vancomycin treatment the patient was discharged with complete recovery.
