ABSTRACT
Aspergillus peritonitis is a rare but highly severe complication of peritoneal dialysis with a high mortality rate. We report a case of Aspergillus fumigatus peritonitis. Despite early removal of the catheter and oral voriconazole antifungal treatment for 3 weeks, the treatment effect was unsatisfactory, resulting in prolonged hospital stay and affecting the patient's quality of life. After switching to liposomalAmphotericin B, inflammation indicators rapidly decreased and infection was controlled. Liposomalamphotericin B provides an option for treatment of Aspergillus peritonitis.
