Abstract:
A 67-year-old male continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patient presented with abdominal pain and pruritus. Strongyloides stercoralis larvae were seen on dialysate sediment and stool microscopic examination. Albendazole was given and improved the symptoms in 4 days. There was no episode of relapsing peritonitis after the therapy. This is the first report of S. stercoralis peritonitis in patients on CAPD. Strongyloides should be considered as a probable peritoneal pathogen in CAPD patients.
