CAPD Fluid for Fungus

Testing CAPD (Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis) fluid for fungi is important when a fungal infection is suspected in patients on peritoneal dialysis, especially in cases of peritonitis that don't resolve with antibiotic treatment. A sample of the CAPD effluent (dialysate) is collected and cultured to identify any fungal organisms, such as Candida species, which are common in dialysis-related infections. The test involves growing the sample on fungal culture media, followed by identification through microscopy and biochemical tests. The culture results help determine the specific type of fungus, allowing for appropriate antifungal therapy. In some cases, Gram stain or KOH preparation may also be used to detect fungal elements in the fluid.
