Liver echinococcal disease in peritoneal dialysis patient — case report
Forum Nefrologiczne 2015;8(2):93-96.
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.
