We report a case in which continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis was complicated by peritonitis due to Campylobacter fetus subspecies intestinalis, a most unusual isolate in this clinical setting.A 61-year-old man was hospitalized with abdominal pain and a cloudy peritoneal dialysate. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis had been started 9...References1. POPOVICHMANCRIEFNOLPHGHODSTWARDOWSKIPYLE RJKAZW. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Ann Intern Med. 1978;88:449-56.
