Hickman Catheter-Related Bacteremia with Kluyvera cryocrescens: a Case Report.
This report describes a 2-year-old child with neuroectodermal tumor presenting with febrile neutropenia. Blood cultures drawn from the peripheral vein and Hickman catheter revealed Kluyvera cryocrescens growth. The Hickman catheter was removed and the patient was successfully treated with cefepime and amikacin. Isolation of Kluyvera spp. from clinical specimens is rare. This saprophyte microorg...
متن کاملPercutaneous Insertion of Hickman Central Venous Catheter: Jugular Approach
Traditionally, tunnelled central venous catheter insertions have been performed by surgeons. However, there is an increasing trend towards central catheters being placed by interventional radiologists under image guidance. The many advantages of inserting central catheters via the jugular approach under image guidance include reusable venous access, generally less waiting time compared with sur...
متن کاملClonal expansion of Staphylococcus epidermidis strains causing Hickman catheter-related infections in a hemato-oncologic department.
The detailed analysis of 411 strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) obtained from 40 neutropenic hemato-oncologic patients (61 Hickman catheter episodes) on intensive chemotherapy is described. By random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis, a total of 88 different genotypes were detected: 51 in air samples and 30 in skin cultures prior to insertion, 12 in blood cultures...
متن کاملInfection of hickman catheter by Pseudomonas (formerly flavimonas) oryzihabitans traced to a synthetic bath sponge.
Pseudomonas (formerly Flavimonas) oryzihabitans is an uncommon pathogen that may cause catheter-associated infections. Although it has occasionally been isolated from the environment, the source of human infection has not previously been documented. We describe an AIDS patient who developed Pseudomonas oryzihabitans bacteremia due to colonization of a Hickman catheter. The patient reported havi...
متن کاملInsertions Using Geometric Analysis and Hybrid Force-Position Control on a PUMA 560 with VAL II
Automatic programming of insertions is an essential step in achieving a truly flexible manufacturing environment. We present techniques based on active compliance implemented with hybrid force-position control capable of inserting a wide variety of shaped pegs. These techniques provide a significant step towards an automatically programmed flexible manufacturing environment. It will be necessar...
