Abstract EN
Two cases of tuberculosis (TB) peritonitis on chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) are described.
The cases were diagnosed by positive acid fast bacilli (AFB) culture from the PD fluid effluent.
Catheter removal and transfer to hemodialysis were needed in one, while the other remained on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
The patients recovered with antituberculous therapy.
A high index of suspicion for early diagnosis and treatment is emphasized.
A six-month course of anti-TB drugs for TB peritonitis is a viable option of therapy.
