What is Outbreak of Sterile Peritonitis Among Continuous Cycling Peritoneal Dialysis Patients about?
## Background: Approximately 30,000 patients receive peritoneal dialysis in the united states. in august 1996, several dialysis centers from different states reported sterile peritonitis among ccpd patients using sterile peritoneal dialysis solution (pds) from a single manufacturer. the manufacturer recalled 53 lots of pds that had passed established industry guidelines and food and drug administration (fda) approved quality control tests [including endotoxin levels 1 cfu/ml. ## Methods: At one outpatient dialysis center, hospital of the university of pennsylvania (hup), we conducted a retrospective cohort study of all ccpd patients treated during july 15 to august 30, 1996. a case-patient was defined as any hup patient with culture-negative peritoneal fluid with a white blood cell count >100/mm3, cloudy peritoneal fluid, and/or abdominal pain. pds and tubing were cultured for bacteria and assayed for endotoxin. ## Results: Overall, 14 of 28 patients had sterile peritonitis. the only risk factor identified was exposure to > or =1 lot of recalled pds (14 of 22 vs. 0/6, p = 0.02); the more recalled lots received, the higher the attack rate (p = 0.0001). five of 47 pds bags had detec
