摘要

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a well-established renal replacement therapy (RRT) for end-stage renal failure (ESRF)[1] and offers certain clear advantages over hemodialysis[2].However,PD is often associated with a high risk of infection of the intraperitoneal cavity,subcutaneous tunnel and catheter exit site,which may subsequently form microbial biofilms[1].Generally,a majority of PD patients suffer from bacterial and fungal infections and if the infection(s) is diagnosed timely,they can be resolved by appropriate antibiotic treatment.
