Clostridium Ramosum—A Rare Cause of Peritoneal Dialysis-Related Peritonitis. Issue 3 (May 2018) - Gerber, Jennifer Scotti
We present the first report of a patient with peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related peritonitis due to Clostridium ramosum, an anaerobe bacterium that is commonly found in normal fecal flora. On rare occasions, it can be pathogenic in immunocompromised individuals. Clostridium species, including Clostridium ramosum, should be included in the differential diagnosis of PD-related peritonitis.
