| Abstract | Note editor : retraction of case report https://doi.org/10.25796/bdd.v3i1.54503 Dear Editor-in-chief,By this letter we would like to retract our case report entitled « First viral replication ofCovid-19 identified in the peritoneal dialysis fluid of a symptomatic patient» that wesubmitted to your journal one week ago. We indeed wanted to inform the renalcommunity of a potential presence of Covid-19 virus in the peritoneal dialysis fluid inpatients undergoing peritoneal dialysis treatment. However, the patient general statusimpaired and he was transferred to an intensive care unit for acute myocardialinsufficiency. During this stay, he was re-checked for a number of other organsalterations. A total of 7 RT-PCR SARS-Cov2 tests , validated by the National ReferenceCenter, were done : 2 by nasopharyngeal swabs, 1 in bronchoalveolar lavage, 3 peritonealdialysate and one in stool. A serological test was also performed. All tests were foundnegative. The CT scan was analyzed again by a specialized radiologist and although aCOVID-19 pulmonary disease was likely, it was not possible to rule out a pulmonaryedema secondary to an acute myocarditis of different origin.Therefore, based on these later information, and after careful discussion with thevirologists, we think that the first positive PCR result was erroneous, without clearexplanation for this. Until new cases appear, the fact that two subsequent peritonealdialysate carefully processed were negative indicates that we cannot reliably prove aperitoneal dialysate contamination by COVID-19 virus in our patient. We deeply apologizefor this premature publication.M.Nouvier and D.Fouque for the authors Note editor : retraction of case report https://doi.org/10.25796/bdd.v3i1.54503 Dear Editor-in-chief,By this letter we would like to retract our case report entitled « First viral replication ofCovid-19 identified in the peritoneal dialysis fluid of a symptomatic patient» that wesubmitted to your journal one week ago.
