Abstract: Peritonitis is the most common complication in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). Peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PDAP) caused by Brucella species is rare. As well as we know, only 15 patients has been reported previously. Here we report a case of Brucella peritonitis. This patient was successfully treated with both intraperitoneal and prolonged oral antibiotics. We review relevant literature and introduce the diagnosis and treatment of Brucella PDAP from published literature.

Key words: Brucella, Peritoneal dialysis, Peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis
