Mycobacterium Fortuitum Peritonitis Associated with Capd: Diagnosis by a Molecular Biology Technique

Editor: Mycobacterium fortuitum is being isolated from skin and soft tissue lesions with increasing frequency. Rarely however, has it been a documented cause of peritonitis in patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Although four cases of M. fortuitum-induced CAPD peritonitis have been reported previously (1–4), this is the first report in which M. fortuitum has been identified by molecular biological technique with 16S ribosomal (r) RNA sequencing from effluent. One significant aspect of this report is the application of a molecular biological method to detect the causative micro-organism in patients with so-called sterile peritonitis.
