Abstract
Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis are extensively used in the management of children with end-stage renal disease and offer many advantages in comparison with hemodialysis. 1 However, peritonitis is a major complication of such therapy. Bacterial organisms are the most common causes of peritonitis, but a small percentage of the cases are of fungal origin. 2 The best treatment program for fungal peritonitis remains somewhat controversial. This is a report of our experience with nine children in whom fungal peritonitis developed during PD.
