Abstract

We describe the first case of Echinococcal infection  in end-stage renal disease patient on peritoneal  dialysis. PAIR (puncture, aspiration, injection,  reaspiration) treatment of Echinococcal liver cyst  was complicated by sterile peritonitis. High percentage  of eosinophil granulocytes in dialysate suggests  an acute reaction to ethanol administered to the cyst.
