Abstract
This report describes the first successful treatment of an adult on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis with Aspergillus peritonitis. The published literature is also reviewed. Early removal of the peritoneal catheter combined with antifungal chemotherapy appear to be necessary for cure in patients with this disease.Keywords
