Association of Staphylococcus nasal colonization and HIV in end-stage renal failure patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that HIV infection may be a risk factor for MRSA nasal colonization and may increase the risks of CNS peritonitis, while a CD4+ cell count <200 cells/µL and S. aureus nasal carriage may be important predictors of S. aureus peritonitis.
