Among the 11 FP cases, 7 cases (63.64%) were caused by Candida and Candida parapsilosis (5\/7) was the most common pathogen of Candida. All FP patients were converted to haemodialysis (HD) and did not resume PD during follow-up. Two patients (18.2%) died after 6 months of HD due to heart failure, 2 patients underwent kidney transplant after 2 years of infection, and the other 7 patients were still on HD. The univariate analysis showed the usage rate of antibiotics in the month before the onset of peritonitis was higher (45.45 vs. 15.93%) and the mean serum albumin was lower (31.4 vs. 34.4 g\/L) in the FP group when compared with BP group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05), while multivariate analysis showed that serum albumin \u2264 30 g\/L was an independent risk factor for FP (odds ratio 4.896, 95% confidence interval 1.335\u201317.961).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> FP is a rare complication of PD in children, but it is associated with high technique failure. Attention should be paid to hypoproteinaemia and antibiotic use in children on
