Case Report of Peritoneal Dialysis-Related Peritonitis Caused by Pseudomonas Fulva

A single case report details an elderly patient's infection with the rare pathogen Pseudomonas fulva. The report describes the patient's development of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis, the bacterial identification via MALDI-TOF MS and 16S rRNA sequencing, and successful treatment with cefotaxime. Tian Feng authored this document, which was last updated on 2026-05-25.

Use Cases

• Reviewing clinical presentation and treatment protocols for Pseudomonas fulva infections based on the described case.
• Studying diagnostic methods for rare pathogens based on the use of MALDI-TOF MS and 16S rRNA sequencing mentioned in the description.
• Analyzing the prognosis of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis based on the patient outcome described.
• Referencing a documented instance of a rare human pathogen for educational or comparative clinical studies.

Strengths

• The report provides a detailed clinical narrative of a rare infection event.
• It includes specific diagnostic methods (MALDI-TOF MS, 16S rRNA sequencing) and treatment information (cefotaxime).
• The document is licensed for open sharing under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• The dataset is a single case report (15.2 KB), representing a very limited scope.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred from the text.
• Data may reflect the specific bias inherent to a single clinical case from an unspecified location.
