Salmonella, a Rare Cause of Peritoneal Dialysis-Associated Peritonitis in a Cancer Patient.

Abstract

Salmonella is a rare causative organism of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis. We describe the case of a 55-year-old man with cancer who presented with relapsing Salmonella peritonitis requiring catheter removal. This case report highlights the importance of prolonged antibiotics for cancer patients, particularly with Salmonella infections, and the possibility of catheter reinsertion following Salmonella peritonitis.
