Diagnosis of catheter-related bacteremia in cancer patients.
I read with great interest the article by Malgrange et al. (3) about the usefulness of difference in time-to-positivity of peripheral blood cultures and cultures of blood taken through the catheter for the diagnosis of bloodstream infection related to long-term intravenous devices. However, in performing sensitivity and specificity analyses for validation of a new diagnostic test, the choice of...
متن کاملMinocycline-EDTA lock solution prevents catheter-related bacteremia in hemodialysis.
There is growing concern about the development of antibacterial resistance with the use of antibiotics in catheter lock solutions. The use of an antibiotic that is not usually used to treat other serious infections may be an alternative that may reduce the clinical impact should resistance develop. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to compare a solution of minocycline and EDTA with the...
متن کاملOptimal Approach for the Diagnosis of Hemodialysis Catheter-Related Bacteremia.
Central venous catheter (CVC) use among patients on hemodialysis (HD) remains unacceptably high and is associated with an increased risk of all-cause infection, infection-related hospitalizations, and mortality (1–4). In CVC-dependent patients on HD who present with suspected infection (symptoms of fever, rigors, altered mental status, unexplained hypotension, or CVC exit site purulence) and in...
متن کاملCatheter-related bacteremia associated with coagulase-positive Staphylococcus intermedius.
We report a case of catheter-related bacteremia in a 63-year-old patient caused by Staphylococcus intermedius. Clinical resolution of the infection was obtained after removal of the intravenous device and antibiotic treatment. This observation emphasizes the risk of confusion between S. intermedius and Staphylococcus aureus if only a coagulase test is done.
متن کاملHickman 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...
