Abstract
- A 77-year-old man developed peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis caused by Streptococcus oralis, a rare pathogen causing the disease. The infection, which was not controlled by one-week intraperitoneal administration of cefazolin and ceftazidime, was cured only after switching to two-week intravenous administration of cefazolin and ceftazidime. The patient had no major dental disease or recent history of dental intervention. This case suggests that S. oralis might cause peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis with persistent systemic inflammation via an extra-oral infection route. The clinical course is discussed along with a review of the literature.
