P. S. Rahko, W. P. Davey, L. J. Wheat and M. Bartlett
Torulopsis glabrata peritonitis occurred in a patient after surgery for a
ruptured abdominal viscus. The infection was successfully treated with
intraperitoneal amphotericin B alone. Pharmacokinetic information regarding
the distribution and clearance of amphotericin B administered by this route
is presented, and the clinical manifestations and treatment modalities for
T glabrata and Candida peritonitis are reviewed.
