ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment and outcomes of patients with Acinetobacter baumannii peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients with Acinetobacter baumannii peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis in the First Affiliated Hospital of Airforce Military University from January 2011 to December 2018. The clinical baseline data, treatment process, microbiological data, antibiotic susceptibility test of the bacterial isolates and outcomes were analyzed.ResultsA total of 10 patients were enrolled, including 4 males and 6 females. The average age of all patients was (44.90±17.03) years, the average age of peritoneal dialysis was (21.70±17.06) months. Seven cases were infected for the first time, and 3 cases were reinfected. The infections were mainly caused by mechanical failure of catheter connection system (3 cases) or enterogenous infection (3 cases). The main symptoms were abdominal pain (10 cases), fever (7 cases) and diarrhea (3 cases). Empirical anti-infective treatment was given after admission, only 1 case was effective, and the treatment of the other 9 cases were adjusted according to the results of drug sensitivity. Acinetobacter baumannii was sensitive to cefoperazone, carbapenem (meropenem, imipenem), quinolones (ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin), aminoglycosides (gentamicin) and polymyxin. Only one case was resistant to ceftazidime. Among the 10 patients, 8 cases were cured (continued peritoneal dialysis), 1 case died, and 1 case dropped out from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis.ConclusionsAcinetobacter baumannii peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis in this hospital is mainly caused by mechanical disturbance of catheter connection system or enterogenic infection. Appropriate measures, including aseptic standard operation, follow-up and effective anti-infective treatment, should be taken to decrease the incidence and mortality of Acinetobacter baumannii peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis.
