POS-647 A RARE CAUSE OF PERITONEAL DIALYSIS RELATED PERITONITIS : ACTINOMYCES ODONTOLYTICUS

Abstract

Peritonitis remains the most feared complication in patients on peritoneal dialysis. The most frequently reported bacteria are Gram positive and are mainly coagulase negative staphylococci. Actinomyces peritonitis is rarely reported in the literature. Actinomycosis is a chronic suppurative infection of often slow progress caused by an anaerobic gram-positive bacillus. Abdominal localizations are rare and can simulate a malignancy, making the diagnosis harder. Hereby, we report the first Actinomyces Odontyliticus peritonitis in a patient undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
