    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Actinomyces peritonitis is a rare but serious complication in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
    • Early diagnosis and prompt management are crucial for favorable outcomes.

    Observation:

    • A young female patient on regular dialytic treatment developed isolated actinomyces peritonitis.
    • The patient had undergone peritoneal dialysis twice at the initiation of treatment.

    Findings:

    • The condition required 4 months of treatment, including surgical drainage of peritoneal fluid and broad-spectrum antibiotics.
    • Complications included super-infections with Escherichia coli and Candida, and an episode of bronchopneumonia.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering rare infections like actinomycosis in peritoneal dialysis patients.
    • Successful treatment highlights the efficacy of combined surgical and medical interventions.
    • Further research into preventative strategies and optimal antibiotic regimens for actinomyces peritonitis in dialysis patients is warranted.
