Sumario:KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: Patients with a recent history of peritoneal dialysis catheter removal in the setting of immunosuppression should be monitored for rare Listeria bacterial peritonitis. This infection should be managed with ampicillin and gentamicin. ABSTRACT: There are scattered reports to date of patients with peritonitis caused by Listeria monocytogenes. Listeria peritonitis is more commonly reported in patients with cirrhosis and those receiving peritoneal dialysis. We present a case of L. monocytogenes peritonitis in a patient with end‐stage renal disease due to lupus nephritis actively on hemodialysis months after peritoneal dialysis catheter removal.
