Catheter Related Bloodstream Infection

Bacteraemia and endocarditis are the most frequently reported clinical infections due to Abiotrophia defectiva species. This species has been rarely implicated in infections in neutropenic patients. We report a rare case of long-term venous catheter-related infection caused by A. defectiva that occurred in a febrile child who had neutropenia and Langerhans’ cell histiocytosis.

Catheter Related Bloodstream Infection

ABSTRACTCatheter-related bacteremias carry high mortality rates in hematological patients. When a multidrug-resistant microorganism is involved, the catheter should ideally be removed; however, this approach is not always possible. Tigecycline lock therapy was used in two pediatric oncohematological patients with intravascular catheter-related infection due to KPC-producingKlebsiella pneumoniae. The catheter was salvaged in both cases, and the patients were later discharged. Our experience suggests the usefulness of this approach in treating this type of infection.

• Catheter cultures should be performed only if a catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) is suspected. Do NOT obtain routine or surveillance blood cultures through catheters.• Always draw peripheral and blood cultures through the catheter lumen before starting empiric antimicrobial therapy.A definite diagnosis of CRBSI requires one of the following: ...
