( Aparicio, M; García Ramón, R; Miguel, A; Molina, P; Puchades, MJ, 2005)

( Bolzonella, R; Contestabile, A; Fabris, A; Gardin, C; Pellanda, MV, 1993)
" Although appropriate therapy of fungal peritonitis in patients undergoing CAPD still remains controversial, both for the drug of choice and for the dosage to be used, our study indicates that a 5-week course of oral 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) may obviate the need to remove the peritoneal catheter during the management of peritonitis caused by susceptible strains of T glabrata."1.27Torulopsis glabrata peritonitis complicating continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis: successful management with oral 5-fluorocytosine.
