Nontuberculous mycobacteria infections of peritoneal dialysis patients: A multicenter study.

CONCLUSIONS: Culture negative peritonitis, isolation of diphtheroids or Corynebacterium spp., previous exposure to antibiotics, and/or a refractory infection should all prompt consideration of PD-related NTM infection and timely workup. Catheter removal is recommended aside prolonged antimicrobial therapy. In select patients with ESI, continuation of PD may be feasible. PMID: 32400280 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
