Peritoneal Dialysis-Associated Peritonitis Caused by Lautropia Mirabilis and Concurrent Viral Infection: A Case Report
Conventional culture methods may fail to detect uncommon pathogens, such as <i>L. mirabilis</i>. Culture-negative PDAP often necessitates empirical antibiotic therapy, carrying a high risk of failure and increased healthcare costs. This case suggests that tNGS could be used as a complementary diagnostic tool in selected cases of refractory, culture-negative PDAP, potentially aiding the identification of pathogens and guiding therapy.
