Abstract.

A 12-year-old girl on peritoneal dialysis developed sub-clinical peritonitis due to Pasteurella multocida, following puncture of her dialysis tubing by a domestic cat. Only four other similar cases of P. multocida peritonitis have been reported in adults. This unusual form of peritonitis could be easily prevented by not allowing domestic animals to come into contact with dialysis tubings in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
