Las infecciones representan la segunda causa de muerte y corresponden a gran morbilidad en este grupo de pacientes. La peritonitis asociada a diálisis peritoneal es una patología prevenible y es la principal complicación de este procedimiento. En la mayoría de ocasiones, la etiología es secundaria a bacterias Gram positivas colonizadoras de la piel, aunque no se puede subestimar la importancia de las bacterias Gram negativas. El diagnóstico se basa tanto en el criterio clínico como microbiológico. El tratamiento corresponde en antibióticos por un periodo de por lo menos dos semanas. Esta revisión de tema permite informar al personal de salud, pacientes y cuidadores sobre esta frecuente complicación con el fin de prevenirla, y en su defecto, un diagnóstico y tratamiento temprano con el fin de reducir la morbimortalidad y las complicaciones de dicho cuadro clínico.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract Peritoneal dialysis is one of the main renal replacement therapies for end-stage renal disease. Infections represent the second leading cause of death and correspond to great morbidity in this group of patients. Peritonitis associated with peritoneal dialysis is a preventable disease, and it is also the main complication of this procedure. Most cases are secondary to Gram-positive bacteria skin colonizers; although the importance of Gram-negative bacteria cannot be underestimated. Diagnosis is based both on clinical and microbiological criteria. Treatment consists on at least a two-week period antibiotic scheme. This topic review allows health care providers, patients and caregivers to be informed about this usual complication in order to prevent it, diagnose it and initiate early treatment with the intention to minimize its morbidity, mortality and complications.]]></p></abstract>
