Abstract

We report a patient with chronic renal failure and ciliocytophthoria or "detached ciliary tufts" identified from her peritoneal fluid. The recognition of these rare structures is critical to avoid misdiagnosing a presumed protozoan infection and embarking on further costly investigations and unnecessary treatments.
