To determine the value of oral neomycin in preventing peritonitis during peritoneal dialysis, 95 consecutive dialyses were randomly assigned to two groups. One group received neomycin 0.5 gm in suspension every six hours for 48 hours; the other, placebo. The incidence of peritonitis was 8.3 per cent in the neomycin group and 9.7 per cent in the placebo group. The incidence of significant asymptomatic infection, as evaluated by colony counts, was 14.6 per cent and 17 per cent, respectively. It was concluded that oral neomycin in the dosages employed did not prevent peritonitis during dialysis.
