Intracardiac Infection at the Tip of Hemodialysis Catheter: Life threatening Morbidity
Authors
Abstract:
Endocarditis and intracardiac infection have been increased recently especially in dialysis dependent renal failure patients. This is usually intractable infection to broad spectrum Antibiotic therapy and in most cases surgical intervention was necessary. We have presented 45 years old man with intracardiac infection at the tip of dialysis catheter that after catheter removal intracardiac infection was removed.
