RÉSUMÉ
Recurrent peritonitis is a serious complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD), which could result in PD withdrawal and mortality. However, cases of recurrent peritonitis occurring during ongoing antimicrobial therapy are rarely reported. Herein, we present a 71-year-old man who experienced initial peritonitis due to Enterococcus faecalis. Despite effective antimicrobial therapy, he developed recurrent peritonitis while on antimicrobial therapy. PD fluid culture analysis yielded Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophilia). He was treated with multiple antimicrobials, and the peritoneal catheter was removed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of recurrent peritonitis caused by S. maltophilia, which was developed during antimicrobial treatment. Our report findings suggest the importance of considering S. maltophilia infection in an atypical case of very early recurrent peritonitis.
