One peritoneal dialysis case of Aspergillus flavus infection secondary to a bacterial peritonitis
Aspergillus is an opportunistic pathogen,which can cause invasive aspergillosis,chronic pulmonary aspergillosis,allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis,and can also cause skin,bone and other parts of the infection and aspergillus poisoning.Peritonitis caused by Aspergillus is relatively rare,but its severity and mortality are relatively high,and it is associated with high mortality and morbidity in peritoneal dialysis patients.Peritonitis caused by Aspergillus flavus has not been reported in China.This paper reported a case of Aspergillus flavus infection secondary to a bacterial peritonitis in a patient with peritoneal penetration,and finally this patient received effective treatment through accurate identification of isolates and accurate drug susceptible test results.The aim of this study is to deepen the understanding of Aspergillus flavus and provide important guidance for early diagnosis,timely detection,and effective treatment in clinical practice.
