Abstract
A case of Staphyloccus aureus catheter infection in a patient on peritoneal dialysis is presented and discussed by nephrologists, a social worker, a nurse specializing in the care of peritoneal dialysis patients, and the patient involved. The focus of the multidisciplinary case discussion concerns the management of S aureus catheter infections, including catheter removal, psychosocial issues and the patient's response to the need for catheter removal, the risk factors and prevention of S aureus catheter infections in peritoneal dialysis patients, and exit site care practices.
