Popis: |
We reported the first clinical use of lyticase enzyme in salvaging the peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter obstruction from Acremonium fungal biofilm during the COVID-19 pandemic era with an impressive result in PD patient presenting with fungal peritonitis and ultrafiltration failure. The organism species was disclosed from PD effluent and catheter cultures. Adjuvant treatment with in-situ lyticase may be considered for catheter salvage therapy if the catheter could not promptly removed in time. |
