摘要：

Although hemodialysis (HD) patients could develop vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) infection, limited studies of VRE-related peritoneal dialysis (PD) peritonitis have been reported. Here, we document a patient who developed peritonitis for the first time with VRE infection after shifting from HD to PD over 4 weeks. We suggest that physicians consider VRE a possible cause of PD peritonitis in patients who have recently shifted from HD to PD, especially in cases involving previous vancomycin exposure.
