The Peritonitis due to rare organisms database is an online database to allow clinicians to report rare organisms causing PD peritonitis. It has been developed by Dr Khalid Mahdi at Sheffield, with support from Clifford Holmes, Joanne Bargman and Martin Wilkie.
We encourage you to report rare organisms through the database. It is quick to do and does not include any patient identifying information. When sufficient information has accumulated we will prepare a summary report and acknowledge your contribution.

Thank you for your help.
The International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) is pleased to present the presentations from the ISPD18 Congress in Vancouver. Making these presentations available is one of many efforts made by ISPD to help advance PD practice worldwide.
These presentations will remain available for ISPD18 attendees until the end of October 2018, and for ISPD members indefinitely.
We would also like to thank the ISPD18 speakers for their participation in the Vancouver congress and for their collaboration in making these presentations available online. Please note that some presentations are not available due to the speakers’ requests (in many cases, because they contained unpublished data).
