Peritoneal dialysis catheter-associated polymicrobial infection including Actinomyces neuii: Case report and brief literature review.

We present the case of a 60-year-old woman with ESRD diagnosed with polymicrobial (PD) catheter-associated peritonitis including Actinomyces neuii treated with catheter retention and intraperitoneal antibiotics and a review of eight previously-described cases of PD-catheter-associated Actinomyces peritonitis. While data are limited, catheter retention in such cases may succeed if responding rapidly to therapy.
