Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an essential alternative in the management of end-stage renal disease. However, it remains burdened by a feared complication: infectious peritonitis. This book offers an in-depth exploration of this issue through a retrospective study covering five years of observation. It analyzes epidemiological trends, contributing factors, the pathogens involved-whether common or multidrug-resistant-and the therapeutic strategies implemented. The data reveal an alarming rise in the rate of peritonitis, often linked to lapses in aseptic technique. The study also highlights the diversity of the causative pathogens, the level of compliance of empirical treatments with international guidelines, as well as the major challenges posed by the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Beyond the statistics, this book advocates a comprehensive approach: better patient education, rigorous microbiological monitoring, and continuous review of care protocols.
