“…Of those, 149 patients met the CDC criteria for CLABSI, while 134 patients did not (ie, the bacteremia was likely considered secondary to another source). Different data from a subset of patients with CLABSI were previously published 8 . Gram-positive organisms contributed to 52% of CLABSIs, followed by gram-negative (46%) and Candida (2%).…”

“…Different data from a subset of patients with CLABSI were previously published. 8 Gram-positive organisms contributed to 52% of CLABSIs, followed by gram-negative (46%) and Candida (2%). Gram-negative organisms were the main etiologic pathogens for 57% of the non-CLABSIs, followed by gram-positive (35%), Candida (5%), and other rare organisms (2%) ( Table 1).…”

We evaluated the rate of central venous catheter (CVC) removal in 283 cancer patients with bloodstream infections (BSIs). Removal of CVCs occurred unnecessarily in 57% of patients with non-central-line-associated BSI (non-CLABSI), which was equivalent to the rate of CVC removal in patients with CLABSIs. Physician education and safe interventions to salvage the vascular access are warranted. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2018;39:222-225.

“…5 This distinction may contribute to further reduction in true CLABSI rates in this population 15,[142][143][144] and may provide an opportunity for identification of risk factors specific to MBI-LCBI in HCT patients, enabling more targeted prevention strategies, distinct from current CLABSI prevention strategies. Abbreviations: BSI = bloodstream infection; CLABSI = central line-associated bloodstream infection; ICU = intensive care unit; IQR = interquartile range; MBI-LCBI = mucosal barrier injury laboratory-confirmed bloodstream infection.…”

Bacterial bloodstream infections (BSI) cause significant transplant-related morbidity and mortality following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). This manuscript reviews the risk factors for and the bacterial pathogens causing BSIs in allo-HCT recipients in the contemporary transplant period. In addition, it offers insight into emerging resistant pathogens and reviews clinical management considerations to treat and strategies to prevent BSIs in allo-HCT patients.

“…In the United States of America, the annual cases of catheter-associated sepsis are 11 000 in 2010 and 14 400 in 4 Europe countries (France, Germany, Italy and United Kingdom) with associated annual health care cost between 35,9 and € 163,9 millions [9][10][11]. 11The catheterassociated sepsis continues as an essential problem for the patients of low, medium and high income [12].…”

The central lines placement are associated with infectious, mechanic and thrombotic complications [2,3]. The associated infections represent serious consequences in morbidity, mortality and hospitalization cost for the patients and their families [4,5]. The objective of this study was to clarify the incidence, risk factors and more frequents pathogens for bacteremia and secondary infections associated with central lines in the medical or surgical patients in the Hospital Angeles Metropolitano in México between 2014 and 2017.
