Secondary bacterial peritonitis due to Listeria monocytogenes after paracentesis.

Although it is a relatively rare cause of peritonitis, Listeria monocytogenes must be considered in cirrhotic patients with ascites and a suggestive clinical presentation. We believe this is the first report of a case of peritonitis due to L monocytogenes in a patient without sepsis, and the sixth reported case of bacterial peritonitis in a patient with cirrhosis.

Acanthamoebic keratitis diagnosed by paracentesis and biopsy and treated with propamidine.

A previously healthy 53-year-old man had keratitis of the right eye for six months, unresponsive to topical medical therapy. Acanthamoeba was grown from tissue obtained by corneal biopsy and from aqueous from an anterior chamber tap. The patient was treated with propamidine isethionate 0.1% drops and dibromopropamidine isethionate 0.15% ointment, and after two and a half months the ocular inflammation was continuing to resolve. This case supports a role for the diamidines in the treatment of acanthamoebic keratitis.
