This study evaluated the incidence and risk factors of bloodstream infection (BSI) among patients with a double-lumen central venous catheter (CVC) for hemodialysis (HD) and identified the microorganisms isolated from the bloodstream. A follow-up included all patients (n=156) who underwent hemodialysis by double-lumen CVC at the Federal University of São Paulo - UNIFESP, Brazil, over a one-year period. From the group of patients, 94 presented BSI, of whom 39 had positive cultures at the central venous catheter insertion location. Of the 128 microorganisms isolated from the bloodstream, 53 were S. aureus, 30 were methicillin-sensitive and 23 were methicillin-resistant. Complications related to BSI included 35 cases of septicemia and 27 cases of endocarditis, of which 15 cases progressed to death. The incidence of BSI among these patients was shown to be very high, and this BSI progressed rapidly to the condition of severe infection with a high mortality rate.

Case DetailsA 26 year old gentleman who is a known case of chronic rheumatic heart disease, presented with exertional breathlessness of 1 year duration. He underwent percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy in 2004 for severe mitral stenosis. ECG showed atrial fibrillation with controlled ventricular rates. 2D Echocardiography showed severe mitral restenosis (MVA=0.8 cm2; MVG =18/12, Panel A), Organic tricuspid valve disease with severe tricuspid stenosis (TVG=13/8, Panel B) with mild tricuspid regurgitation. Balloon mitral and tricuspid valvotomy was done sequentially in this patient with Acura 28 balloon, inflated to 28mm across mitral valve and 18mm across tricuspid valve with wire in LV and RV apex respectively (Panel C and D). There was significant drop in the trans-Valvular gradients (Panel E and F). Procedure was uneventful. The post procedure course was unremarkable and the patient is doing well at one year follow up.
