Cause of chemical peritonitis: Antiseptic hand disinfectant solution

Peritonitis is a common complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Although peritonitis is
generally due to infectious agents such as bacterial, viral and mycotic, have been reported that due to non-infectious agents such as intraperitoneal route is applied to various drugs. In our case, chemical peritonitis were found as a result of the accidentally intraperitoneal use of antiseptic hand disinfection solution that is not recommended use via oral, parenteral, intravenous or intraperitoneal. So far in humans, chemical peritonitis cases have not been reported that due to intraperitoneal use of alcohol-based antiseptic solutions even if accidentally.

Kimyasal peritonit nedeni: Antiseptik el dezenfektan solusyonu

Peritonit periton diyalizinde (PD) mobidite ve mortaliteyi etkileyen en önemli komplikasyondur. Peritonit bakteryel, viral, mikotik gibi enfeksiyöz ajanlarla olabildiði gibi intraperitoneal yoldan uygulanan çeþitli ilaçlara baðlý non enfeksiyöz peritonit ataklarýda bildirilmektedir. Olgumuzda oral, parenteral, intravenöz veya intraperitoneal kullanýmý önerilmeyen antiseptik el dezenfeksiyonunun yanlýþlýkla intraperitoneal kullanýmý sonucunda peritonit oluþumu saptanmýþtýr. Þimdiye kadar insanlarda yanlýþlýkla dahi olsa alkol bazlý antiseptik solüsyonlarýn intraperitoneal kullanýmýna baðlý kimyasal peritonit olgularý bildirilmemiþtir.
