Eosinophilic Peritonitis – A Clinical Decision

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis associated with recurrent eosinophilic peritonitis.

Eosinophilic peritonitis: an unusual manifestation of tuberculous peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patient.

Eosinophilic peritonitis is an uncommon clinical entity with diagnostic considerations separate from those of tuberculous peritonitis. We report a patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) with eosinophilic peritonitis resulting from tuberculous peritonitis. Acid-fast stain and mycobacterial culture of peritoneal dialysis effluent were both negative result. In the peritoneal d...

Pathological changes in chronic eosinophilic peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patient

We report the pathological findings of the peritoneum in a patient with chronic eosinophilic peritonitis. Peripheral blood eosinophilia was confirmed before insertion of Tenckhoff catheter. Eosinophilic peritonitis continued from the second day after initiation of peritoneal dialysis for 18 months. Pathological findings showed numerous eosinophils in peritoneal blood vessels. Mast cells were al...
