At the early stage of treatment, we tried different types of antibiotics according drug sensation test. However, the effectiveness was not satisfied. After using ampicillin/sulbactam intravenously on Aug. 30th, the WBC count in PD effluent went down and the volume of the effluent went up, indicating an effective treatment. During the treatment, the patient had a period of temporary hemodialysis from the 13th day after admission to the day that WBC count of PD effluent was normal stably after 12 days ampicillin/sulbactam treatment.
