Abstract
Abstract
Background
Peritonitis is a serious and potentially fatal complication of peritoneal dialysis. We report a case of fatal peritonitis caused by Mycobacterium mageritense that was detected for the first time in peritonitis.
Case presentation
A male patient in his 60 s undergoing peritoneal dialysis was admitted for catheter diversion with exit-site renewal. The patient had a refractory exit-site infection. Mycobacterial culture was not performed at the exit site prior to admission. After the surgery, the patient developed a fever, and a cloudy effluent was observed. Various antibiotics, including anti-tuberculosis drugs, were administered; however, his symptoms did not improve. The catheter was removed on the thirty-seventh day of admission. Bacteria positive for Ziehl–Neelsen staining were found in the peritoneal sample collected during the surgery. Since nontuberculous mycobacteria were considered the cause of peritonitis, the patient was administered imipenem/cilastatin, amikacin, and clarithromycin. However, he died of septic shock on the fifty-first day after admission. Mycobacterium mageritense was detected in the ascites culture after death.
Conclusion
This is, to our knowledge, the first report of peritonitis caused by Mycobacterium mageritense. In patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis, when a refractory exit-site infection is observed, mycobacterial culture is necessary to prevent the development of peritonitis.

Simultaneous catheter removal and reinsertion, is it acceptable in M. abscessus exit site infection? CEN Case Rep 2021.

Abstract
In recent times, increasing reports of exit site infections (ESI) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients related to environmentally acquired atypical organisms, such as nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM), have been reported in the literature. Among these NTM, Mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus) is unique and is associated with high morbidity and treatment failure rates. The international society of PD guidelines suggests individualizing therapeutic options for NTM-related ESI. Moreover, the guidelines encourage simultaneous catheter removal and reinsertion (SCRR) in isolated ESI, not responding to antimicrobial therapy to avoid PD interruptions. Physicians should be aware of the limitations of such approaches as delay in appropriate PD catheter intervention can be fraught with complications in patients with M. abscessus ESI. We report an M. abscessus ESI in a PD patient who underwent SCRR in conjunction with targeted antimicrobial therapy, and developed M. abscessus peritonitis requiring PD catheter removal and conversion to hemodialysis. The patient also developed ESI at the new exit site long after the PD catheter was removed, requiring prolonged antimicrobial therapy. Our case, taken together with available published case reports, highlights the futility of the SCRR approach towards the M. abscessus ESI and makes the cases for early PD catheter removal in these patients.

Peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis caused by Mycobacteroides massiliense: the first case and review of the literature. BMC Nephrol 2021; 22:90. [PMID: 33711948 PMCID: PMC7953774 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-021-02297-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2020] [Accepted: 03/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis caused by nontuberculous Mycobacterium is rare; however, the number of cases has increased over the past decades. Mycobacteroides massiliense is a subspecies of the Mycobacteroides abscessus complex. It has different clinical characteristics compared to the other subspecies of the complex. Previous case reports of PD-associated peritonitis caused by Mycobacteroides abscessus complex have not distinguished the subspecies in detail. Case presentation A 40-year-old man presented with an exit-site and tunnel infection refractory to antibiotic therapy. Peritonitis occurred after simultaneous catheter removal and reinsertion. The Mycobacteroides abscessus complex was detected in the culture of the dialysis effluent. Removal of the PD catheter combined with antibiotics, including macrolides, resulted in a good clinical course. Further analysis of multiplex PCR and the hsp65 gene sequence identified the bacterium as Mycobacteroides massiliense. Conclusions The Mycobacteroides abscessus complex is classified into three subspecies; Mycobacteroides abscessus, Mycobacteroides massiliense, and Mycobacteroides bolletii. These have different characteristics, particularly antibiotic susceptibility. Therefore, clear identification of the subspecies of the Mycobacteroides abscessus complex is necessary for definitive treatment.

Abstract
Encapsulated peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a rare but known complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). It commonly manifests insidiously with recurrent intestinal obstruction and malnutrition, worsening over time. We report an ESRD patient on PD therapy for six years presenting with an acute intestinal obstruction, bowel hernia, bowel ischemia, and hemodynamic instability. CT abdomen revealed thickening of walls of colon and ileum in the right lower quadrant, with signs of small bowel obstruction. Patient underwent emergency laparotomy for the repair of hernia and resection of ischemic bowel, and intraoperatively, was found to have dusky, edematous, thickened, inflamed, and distended distal bowels with adhesions in the right lower quadrant. The pathological examination revealed a thin membrane encasing the ileum, colon and the mesenteric tissue diffusely. Microscopic examination of resected bowel showed marked submucosal edema with myxoid and inflammatory changes. Based on these clinical, radiological and pathological findings, a diagnosis of EPS was established. Her postoperative course was complicated by recurrent intraabdominal bleeding with hemoperitoneum, leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation, multiorgan failure, and death, two weeks after the surgery. EPS can present as an acute abdominal catastrophe. Although there are recommendations for ascertainment of EPS diagnosis, there are no clear guidelines for safe and effective surgical strategies and these warrant further research.
