Abstract

ABSTRACTFungal peritonitis is an unusual but severe complication of continuous peritoneal dialysis. The role of 1,3-β-d-glucan is unknown in early diagnosis and in treatment monitoring of peritoneal candidiasis. This case report shows the utility of 1,3-β-d-glucan monitoring in management ofCandidaperitonitis in a child undergoing continuous peritoneal dialysis.
