RESUMO

We describe the first two cases of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis associated with Lancefield group G beta-hemolytic streptococci in the literature. Both patients presented with abdominal pain and turbid dialysis effluent with or without fever. Both had concomitant gastrointestinal tract disturbance. Both did not respond to intraperitoneal cefazolin and tobramycin and required removal of the Tenckhoff catheters.
