Paecilomyces variotii in peritoneal dialysate.

Department of Medical Microbiology, Austin Hospital, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

ABSTRACT

Four cases of peritonitis caused by the filamentous fungus Paecilomyces variotii in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis are reported. Removal of the Tenckhoff catheter and antifungal chemotherapy led to resolution of symptoms in all cases. Possible contaminating events are discussed, and reported infections with P. variotii are reviewed.
