This study reviewed 13 cases of Streptococcus pneumoniae peritonitis. High antibiotic resistance was observed, but overall mortality remained low, highlighting effective treatment strategies for pneumococcal peritonitis.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology
  • Clinical Medicine

Context:

  • Review of clinical and microbiological data from 13 patients with Streptococcus pneumoniae peritonitis over 8.5 years.
  • Study conducted in a tertiary care hospital setting.

Purpose:

  • To characterize the clinical and microbiological features of pneumococcal peritonitis.
  • To assess the prevalence of antibiotic resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates from peritoneal infections.
  • To evaluate the mortality associated with pneumococcal peritonitis.

Summary:

  • Streptococcus pneumoniae was isolated from the peritoneum in 13 patients.
  • Primary peritonitis was observed in 7 cases; secondary peritonitis resulted from perforation or female genital tract infections in the remaining cases.

  • High rates of antibiotic resistance were noted in the pneumococcus isolates, yet the overall mortality was low.

    • Impact:

    • Provides insights into the clinical presentation and microbiological profiles of pneumococcal peritonitis.
    • Highlights the challenge of antibiotic resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae infections.
    • Suggests that despite resistance, pneumococcal peritonitis can have a favorable outcome with appropriate management.
