Abstract

Cardiobacterium hominis, an uncommon cause of bacterial endocarditis, is rarely implicated in infections outside the vascular system. We report the isolation of C. hominis from the peritoneal fluid of a patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis with a presentation suggestive of peritonitis but no evidence of infective endocarditis.
