Abstract

Parçalara ayrılmış implante edilebilir damar yolu açma aparatı enfeksiyonunu takip eden bir Staphylococcus lugdunensis Staphylococcus lugdunensis bakteriyemisi olgusunu bildirdik. Bu olguda özellikle protez cihaz kullanan immünitesi baskılanmış hastalarda gelişen S. lugdunensis’in virulansı vurgulamakla birlikte bu mikroorganizmanın kandan izole edildiğinde kontaminasyon/enfeksiyonunu ayırımının önemine dikkat çekildi. İhtiyaç kalmadığında damar yolu açma aparatlarının hemen çıkarılmasının kateter enfeksiyonlarının önlenmesinde arz ettiği önem ayrıca belirtildi

Abstract

We report a case of Staphylococcus lugdunensis bacteraemia following infection of a fragmented totally implantable vascular access device. This report highlights the virulence of S. lugdunensis especially in immunosuppressed patients with prosthetic devices as well as the importance of distinguishing between contamination and blood stream infection when this organism is cultured from blood. The importance of prompt removal of implantable vascular access devices when they are no longer required, to prevent catheter related infections is also reflected in this report. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2015;5(2): 85-88

Key words: Staphylococcus lugdunensis, bacteraemia, vascular access devices.
