Abstract
Fungal peritonitis is a rare complication associated with peritoneal dialysis, whose standard management consists of systemic antifungal therapy associated with early removal of the peritoneal dialysis catheter. This report describes and analyzes the use of lock therapy with intracatheter liposomal amphotericin B in a clinical case of fungal peritonitis.
