Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis commonly leads to significant morbidity & mortality, notably transient loss of ultrafiltration, membrane failure, catheter loss, and is a primary reason for conversion to hemodialysis, thus it remains a major challenge to the long-term success of peritoneal dialysis. Tuberculous peritonitis (TBP) accounts for less than 1% of patients with PD-associated peritonitis. Albeit rare, TBP in a patient on CAPD is a perilous condition.
