| Abstract: | Non-tuberculous mycobacteria peritonitis is uncommon with the majority of cases reported in patients on peritoneal dialysis with diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Here we present a case of Mycobacterium chelonae peritonitis and review other cases in the literature to discuss the clinical spectrum, diagnostics, regimens and duration of treatment, and outcome. |
