Fungal peritoneal infection is a relatively rare but serious complication of peritoneal dialysis. It is associated with a high risk of technical failure and mortality, particularly in the event of late diagnosis. Most of these fungal infections are associated with the Candida genus. However, in recent years, we have observed an emergence of new fungal species with established pathogenicity in peritoneal dialysis. We report the first case of fungal peritoneal infection due to Geotrichum spp that occurred in our peritoneal dialysis unit in Dakar in Senegal.
