We report a rare clinical case of Staphylococcus carnosus infection at a peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter’s emergence.
The patient is an 81-year-old being treated with PD for end-stage renal disease. The patient started peritoneal dialysis on August 12, 2019, with Tenckhoff catheter placement on July 17, 2019. Since the start of PD, several emergence infections have occurred with different germs. On July 22, 2024, when the dressing was being re-dressed, the private nurse took a bacteriological sample in view of inflammation without discharge at the catheter emergence site. Bacteriological analysis revealed S. carnosus, which was treated with mupirocin for 8 days. The clinical and biological evolution was favorable, with a sterile control sample.
This case appears to be the first known on a worldwide and human scale and adds to the knowledge of rare infections of peritoneal dialysis catheter emergencies. The germ is also present in animals and foodstuffs.
