Background: Home dialysis provides significant autonomy for most people. In Australia 60% of households have 1 or more domestic pets (37% dogs & 26% cats, ABS). Whilst pets provide significant social benefit, little is documented about the potential hazards in the home dialysis setting. Methods: In addition to our local case, the Peritoneal Dialysis Peritonitis registry at ANZDATA was searched for episodes of PD peritonitis

due to P. multicida from 1/1/2011 to 31/12/12. Results: Our local case was a 40yo woman with ESKD due to reflux nephropathy. Dialysis consisted of APD for 2 years following a previous transplant. She worked nightshift as a registered nurse. Her cat slept in the bed with her whilst she was connected to APD and had been noted to lick the Tenckhoff catheter at times. A total of 5 previous episodes of peritonitis in 5 people (4 Caucasian, 3 female), mean age RG7420 cost BI 2536 50 years were identified in the ANZDATA peritonitis registry. All were on APD using glucose-based solutions. Final treatment consisted of Amoxycillin, Gentamicin and Ceftriaxone in 1 case each and Cefazolin in 2 cases. Mean duration of treatment was 16 days (range 14 to 19). Outcome was good in all cases with no deaths, no recurrence, no removal of catheter and no transfer to HD. Conclusions: PD peritonitis

due to Pasteurella multicida is an uncommon but preventable cause of peritonitis. Education of people on PD around the potential hazards of domestic animals should be included in all training for home therapies. 252 JUST A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR – MEDICAL GRADE HONEY FOR PAEDIATRIC PERITONEAL DIALYSIS EXIT-SITE INFECTION, A CASE SERIES TA FORBES1, L SHAW1, Z MILLARD1, J KAUSMAN1,2, Megestrol Acetate AM WALKER1, C QUINLAN1,2 1Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne, Victoria; 2Murdoch

Childrens Research Institute, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Aim: A photographic case series and literature review presenting Medihoney as an effective treatment for peritoneal exit-site infections and over-granulation. Background: International guidelines in peritoneal dialysis (PD) advocate for regular application of topical mupirocin in chronic PD exit-site care. A strong evidence base links this treatment to reduced rates of exit-site infections and peritonitis (ESIP), however emerging reports of increasing mupirocin resistance and gram negative exit-site floral replacement and ESIP are threatening the long-term viability of topical antibiotic ointments as a prophylactic treatment. Honey has multiple, proven, antibacterial and wound healing properties. Cochrane review of topical honey for wound healing found some benefit for superficial and partial thickness burns. Recent randomised controlled trials have not proven honey to be superior to mupirocin in ESIP prophylaxis.
