When Love Hurts, It Leaves No Options! An Unusual Case of Pasteurella Peritoneal Dialysis Peritonitis Causing Severe Intra-abdominal Adhesions Preventing a Future Peritoneal Dialysis Option. Adv Perit Dial. 2018 Nov;34(2018):50-52 Authors: Dumor K, Malhotra K Abstract A 67-year-old white man with a history of end-stage renal disease receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) presented with acute onset of vomiting, chills, and abdominal pain. He was diagnosed with PD-associated peritonitis secondary to Pasteurella. After failure of 3 weeks of antibiotic treatment, catheter loss occurred. On follow-up, the patient was found to have extensive intra-abdominal adhesions precluding placement of a new PD catheter. PMID: 30480538 [PubMed - in process]
