Isolation of organisms in CAPD peritonitis: use of nutrient broth cultures and Bactec blood culture media.

Cultures of the first cloudy dialysates from 51 consecutive episodes of peritonitis in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis were carried out using concentrated nutrient broth and Bactec blood culture media in addition to primary culture on solid media. Thirty-seven episodes (73%) were positive on solid media, and 42 episodes (82%) were positive by both nutrient broth and Bactec methods. The value of Gram-stained smears and WBC counts on dialysates is discussed.

Carriage of intestinal protozoal cysts in homosexuals.

A total of 83 male homosexuals were studied to ascertain the carriage of intestinal protozoal cysts. The homosexual group had a significantly (p less than 0.0005) higher prevalence than a control group. One or more types of protozoa were found in 33 homosexuals. The carriage of intestinal protozoal cysts was associated with particular sexual practices and promiscuity, but not with symptomatic bowel disorders. The possible implications of the carriage of these cysts are discussed.
