摘要：
A woman on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) due to renal failure in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) developed fungal peritonitis and survived following treatment with amphotericin B and removal of the dialysis catheter. The causative organism, Aspergillus fumigatus is very rare in fungal peritonitis and may be related in this case to the combination of SLE, end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and their treatment.
