In January 2009, he developed lower abdominal pain and cloudy PD effluent. A diagnosis of peritonitis was made and Escherichia coli was detected in cultures of the PD effluent. An abdominal computed tomography scan showed a fish bone in the duodenal wall. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed, and a 3-cm fish bone was removed. We thus recommend careful investigation with the possibility of enteric peritonitis from the intestinal tract when E. coli is detected in effluent cultures during PD., Internal Medicine, 51(13), pp.1715-1719; 2012}, pages = {1715--1719}, title = {Bacterial peritonitis due to duodenal perforation by a fish bone in an elderly peritoneal dialysis patient}, volume = {51}, year = {2012} }
