Abstract

Peritonitis as a result of a perorated appendicitis is a rare but life-threatening situation in a patient on peritoneal dialysis (PD). As far as we are aware, the combination of clear dialysate effluent and phlegmonous appendicitis in a patient on PD has not previously been described. We report a 16-year-old girl with acute onset of abdominal pain and vomiting who turned out to have phlegmonous appendicitis, despite having a clear dialysate effluent with normal cell count, and who subsequently developed E coli peritonitis after surgery
