Salvage of the peritoneal dialysis catheter in Candida peritonitis using amphotericin B catheter lock.

This study confirms our previous findings that an amphotericin B lock-based protocol has potential to cure Candida peritonitis without PD catheter removal. However, further research is needed given the limitations of this study. Until that time, the lock-based Candida protocol could be used in patients who are not severely ill and in whom PD catheter removal is not desirable.
