    Inflammation at the insertion site is not predictive of catheter-related bloodstream infection with short-term, noncuffed central venous catheters* Nasia Safdar, MD; Dennis G. Maki, MD Background: Noncuffed, percutaneously inserted central venous catheters (CVCs) are widely used and cause at least 250,000 bloodstream infections (BSIs) in U.S. hospitals each year. We report a prospective study to determine whether inflammation at the insertion site is predictive of CVC-related BSI.Methods: Percutaneously inserted, noncuffed CVCs inserted into the subclavian, internal jugular, or femoral vein in two randomized trials during 1998-2000 were prospectively studied; most patients were in an intensive care unit. The condition of the insertion site was evaluated daily by research nurses, quantifying pain (0, 1), erythema (0-2), swelling (0, 1), and purulence (0, 1); the lowest possible overall inflammation score was 0 and the highest was 5. CVC-related BSI was confirmed in each case by demonstrating concordance between isolates from the catheter segment and from blood cultures by restriction-fragment DNA subtyping.Results: Among 1,263 CVCs prospectively studied, 333 (26.3%) were colonized at removal; of these, 35 catheters (2.7%) caused BSIs (5.9 per 1000 CVC days). BSIs were caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci (n = 27), enterococci (n = 4), enteric Gram-negative bacilli (n = 3), or Candida (n = 1). Most insertion sites showed little or no inflammation at the time of removal. There were no significant differences among mean scores for each inflammatory variable examined or overall score among colonized CVCs (0.1 0.1), catheters causing CVC-related BSI (0.2 0.4), and noncolonized CVCs (0.1 0.1). The sensitivity of local inflammation for diagnosis of CVC-related BSI was dismal (0-3%).Conclusion: Local inflammation is uncommon with infected CVCs, probably because most catheter-associated infections are currently caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci, a pathogen that incites little local or systemic inflammation. Whereas overt inflammation of the insertion site should raise suspicion of CVC-related BSI caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Gram-negative bacilli, especially if the patient has fever or other signs of sepsis, in general, site appearance cannot be relied on to identify catheter colonization or CVC-related BSI.3 other studies:. In a prospective study of 169 CVCs used mainly for parenteral nutrition, Armstrong et al. ( 10) found that ">4 mm of erythema at the insertion site was associated with a three-fold increased risk of catheter colonization (">15 colony-forming units; relative risk, 2.97; p = .06); swelling or tenderness was not predictive of colonization. Unfortunately, the report gives no information on catheter-related BSIs, particularly whether erythema was predictive of BSI.A prospective study of 1,353 CVCs in a university hospital showed that out of 11 cases of CVC-related BSI, 73% of patients had no signs of local inflammation, and the sensitivity and positive predictive value of local inflammation for identification of CVC-related BSI were 27% and 1.5%, respectively. However, purulence at insertion sites, although rare, was found to be highly predictive of CVC-related BSI in a univariate analysis (relative risk, 27.1; p

Multivariate analysis showed that catheter removal 72 h after onset improved response to antifungal therapy exclusively in patients with catheter-related candidemia (P = .04). Clinical characteristics that suggested a noncatheter source for the candidemia were disseminated infection (P < .01), previous chemotherapy (P < .01), previous corticosteroid therapy (P = .02), and poor response to antifungal therapy (P < .03).

    9 J1 il ny a que des microcoloniesLa technique mRNA permet de detecter les bactries encore viable et de les quantifier

    Qualitative broth culture and quantitative culture on agar were compared with quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for thediagnosis of foreign body infections (FBI) in a rat model with and without exposure to systemic antibiotics (teicoplanin and rifampin). The3 methods had a similar and high yield without antibiotics. Antibiotics decreased the number of CFU/foreign body and increased the numberof culture-negative foreign bodies and the variability of the results in quantitative culture. The yield of broth culture remained high underantibiotics although prolonged incubation (2-5 days) was required. The yield of the PCR was equivalent or even superior (for teicoplanin)to the yield of broth culture. Quantitative PCR had a higher yield and lower variability than quantitative culture and was not affected byantibiotics. The simultaneous isolation of RNA from all samples indicated viability of the bacteria. Quantitative PCR seems a promisingmethod for the diagnosis of FBI.

    10In the absence of severe sepsis, for exemple in case of fever without no evident cause which is a frequnet circumtance in the ICU, it shoud be interresting to perform diagnostic procedures without removing catheter

    It should be known that a negative cutaneous swab culture is a strong argument for the absence of cathetr-related sepsis.

    In this circumstance, paired peripheral and central blood culture with differential quantitative cultures of differential time to positivity is able to acurately make the diagnosis of CRS at least for long-term CVCs and oncologic patients.

Design: Randomizedcontrolled trial. Setting: Thirty-threebedICU. Patients and participants:One hundred and forty four patientswith suspected CRI in which a changeof CVCs was planned were evaluatedfor inclusion. Interventions: Hemodynamicallystable patients withoutproven bacteremia, no insertion siteinfection, and no intravascular foreignbody were randomized to astandard-of-care group (SOC, allCVCs were changed as planned) or awatchful waiting group (WW, CVCschanged when bacteremia was subsequentlyconfirmed or hemodynamicinstability occurred). Measurementand results: Study groups were comparedfor incidence of CVC-relatedbloodstream infection (CR-BSI), resolutionof fever, C-reactive protein,SOFA score, duration of ICU stay,and mortality. Of 144 patients withsuspected CRI, 80 patients met exclusioncriteria. Sixty-four were randomized.Forty-seven of 80 excludedpatients were shown to be bacteremic,20 (25%) of whom had aCR-BSI. Five of 64 (8%) includedpatients had a CR-BSI during theirsubsequent ICU stay (two in SOC andthree in WW group). All 38 CVCswere changed in the SOC groupversus 16 of 42 in the WW group(62% reduction, P0.1 for all).Conclusions: The use of a simpleclinical algorithm permits a substantialdecrease in the number of unnecessarilyremoved CVCs withoutincreased morbidity.

    This retrospective cohort study examined theclinical significance of isolated Staphylococcusaureus central venous catheter (CVC) tip cultures(i.e., positive tip cultures without concomitantpositive blood cultures). Subsequent S. aureusbacteraemia was found in nine (12%) of 77patients at a median time of 4 days after CVCremoval. A high co-morbidity score and noeffective antibiotic treatment within 48 h of CVCremoval were independent risk-factors for septiccomplications following multivariate analysis. Amatched case-control study that compared theabove cohort with patients with CVC tip culturesnegative for S. aureus supported the significanceof these findings.

    Patients with Staphylococcus aureus colonization of an intravascularcatheter but without demonstrated bacteremiawithin 24 h after intravascular catheter removal had a 24%(12 of 49 patients) chance of subsequent S. aureus bacteremiaif they did not receive immediate antistaphylococcal antibiotics.Treatment within 24 h after intravascular catheterremoval led to a 83% reduction in the incidence of subsequentbacteremia.

    Patients with Staphylococcus aureus colonization of an intravascularcatheter but without demonstrated bacteremiawithin 24 h after intravascular catheter removal had a 24%(12 of 49 patients) chance of subsequent S. aureus bacteremiaif they did not receive immediate antistaphylococcal antibiotics.Treatment within 24 h after intravascular catheterremoval led to a 83% reduction in the incidence of subsequentbacteremia.

    We believe that patients with S. aureus in IVC tip cultures are colonised, possibly at multiplesites. Therefore, they are at high risk for subsequent infection when compared with noncolonisedsubjects. Whether isolating S. aureus from an IVC tip without any sign of infection predictsa higher risk for subsequent bacteraemia, and whether antibiotics decrease this probability,needs to be clarified.

    Abstract Purpose: To assess the influence of antifungal therapy on theoutcome of non-candidemic adult patients with central vascular catheter(CVC) tips colonized by Candida species. Methods: A retrospectiveanalysis of the outcome of patientswith Candida colonization of theirCVC tip and no concurrent candidemiawas made over a 4-year period.Patients who either died or developedcandidemia-invasive candidiasis(poor outcome) were compared withthose who improved. Results: Wefinally included 58 patients for analysis.Almost all (91.4%) had to beadmitted to the ICU during theirhospital stay. Independent predictorsfor outcome were a McCabe andJackson score corresponding to ultimatelyfatal underlying disease [oddsratio (OR) 11.98; 95% confidenceinterval (CI), 1.37104.97;P = 0.02], and maximum severitycorresponding to severe sepsis, septicshock or multiorgan failure (OR:6.16, CI 95%: 1.0037.93; P = 0.05).We were unable to demonstrate thatantifungal therapy was an independentvariable influencing outcome(OR 0.82; 95% CI, 0.272.47;P = 0.73). Conclusions: Our datasuggest that, in non-neutropenic criticallyill patients with no concomitantcandidemia and with CVC tips colonizedby Candida, antifungal therapydoes not seem to have a significantinfluence on clinical outcome.

Despite thisgrowing concern, there are limited clinical data to support this notion. To better elucidate this, a retrospectivecohort study was conducted among patients with MRSA bloodstream infections who were treated with vancomycinbetween January 2005 and May 2007. The inclusion criteria were as follows: at least 18 years old,nonneutropenic, with an MRSA culture that met the CDC criteria for bloodstream infection, had receivedvancomycin therapy within 48 h of the index blood culture, and survived >24 h after vancomycin administration.Failure was defined as 30-day mortality, bacteremia >10 days on vancomycin therapy, or a recurrence ofMRSA bacteremia within 60 days of vancomycin discontinuation. Classification and regression tree (CART)analysis identified the vancomycin MIC breakpoint associated with an increased probability of failure. Duringthe study period, 92 patients met the inclusion criteria. The vancomycin MIC breakpoint derived by CARTanalysis was >1.5 mg/liter. The 66 patients with vancomycin MICs of >1.5 mg/liter had a 2.4-fold increase infailure compared to patients with MICs of 1.5 mg/liter was independently associated with failure (adjustedrisk ratio, 2.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.3 to 5.4; P 0.01). These data strongly suggest that patients withMRSA bloodstream infections with vancomycin MICs of >1.5 mg/liter respond poorly to vancomycin. Alternativeanti-MRSA therapies should be considered for these patients.

    Objectives: In a prospective, randomized trial, daptomycin was non-inferior to standard therapy forStaphylococcus aureus bacteraemia and right-sided endocarditis. Since rates of infection due tomethicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) infection are increasing and treatment outcomes for bacteraemiacaused by MRSA are generally worse than those observed with methicillin-susceptible S. aureus bacteraemia,clinical characteristics and treatment results in the trials pre-specified subset of patientswith MRSA were analysed.Methods: Clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients receiving daptomycin were compared withthose receiving vancomycin plus low-dose gentamicin. Success was defined as clinical improvementwith clearance of bacteraemia among patients who completed adequate therapy, received no potentiallyeffective non-study antibiotics and had negative blood cultures 6 weeks after end of therapy.Results: Twenty of the 45 (44.4%) daptomycin patients and 14 of the 43 (32.6%) vancomycin/gentamicinpatients were successfully treated (difference 11.9%; confidence interval 28.3 to 32.1). Success ratesfor daptomycin versus vancomycin/gentamicin were 45% versus 27% in complicated bacteraemia, 60%versus 45% in uncomplicated bacteraemia and 50% versus 50% in right-sided MRSA endocarditis.Cure rates in patients with septic emboli and in patients who received pre-enrolment vancomycin weresimilar between treatment groups. However, in both treatment groups, success rates were lower in theelderly (75 years). Persisting or relapsing bacteraemia occurred in 27% of daptomycin and 21% ofvancomycin/gentamicin patients; among these patients, MICs of 2 mg/L occurred in five daptomycinand four vancomycin/gentamicin patients. The clinical course of several patients may have been influencedby lack of surgical intervention.Conclusions: Daptomycin was an effective alternative to vancomycin/gentamicin for MRSA bacteraemiaor right-sided endocarditis.

    23Objective: Infection and thrombosis are important complicationsof intravascular catheters. The purpose of this study was todetermine the incidence of thrombosis in patients with centralvenous catheterassociated Staphylococcus aureus bacteremiaand the utility of physical examination for diagnosing upperextremity or neck venous thrombosis.Design: Prospective observational cohort.Setting: Tertiary care facility.Patients: In all, 65 consecutive patients with catheter-associatedS. aureus bacteremia with central venous catheters of theinternal jugular, brachial, or subclavian veins were eligible forparticipation.Intervention: From July 1999 through August 2004, enrolledpatients underwent physical examination and ultrasonographyindependently to identify the presence of catheter-associatedthrombosis. Study ultrasonograms were interpreted blindly usingdefined criteria. Outcomes were defined at 12-wk follow-up.Measurements and Main Results: A total of 48 patients wereenrolled. By ultrasonography, definite or possible thrombosis waspresent in 34 of 48 patients (71%) in this cohort. Death orrecurrent bacteremia occurred in 11/34 (32%) infected patientswith thrombosis and two of 14 (14%) infected patients withoutthrombosis (p .29). Sensitivity of all physical examinationfindings, either alone or in combination, was low (
