Kateter enfeksiyonlarının en sık etkeni cilt florasında yer alan stafilokoklar ve diğer Gram-pozitif bakterilerdir. Citrobacter freundii çoğunlukla nozokomiyal enfeksiyon etkeni olup, nadiren kateterle ilişkili kan dolaşımı enfeksiyonuna neden olur. Bu yazıda, hemodiyalize giren 39 yaşında bir erkek hastada Citrobacter freundii’ye bağlı olarak gelişen kateterle kan dolaşımı enfeksiyonu gelişen bir olgu sunuldu. Hastanın periferik kan ve kateter içinden alınan kan örneklerinde Citrobacter freundii üredi. Hastaya 10 gün süreyle seftriakson tedavisi uygulandı, tedavi sonrası klinik ve laboratuvar bulguları düzeldi. Sonuç olarak, özellikle hemodiyalize giren hastalarda nadirde olsa Gram-negatif bakterilerden Citrobacter freundii’nin de kateterle ilişkili kan dolaşımnı enfeksiyonu etkeni olabileceği akılda tutulmalıdır.
The most common cause of catheter infections are staphylococci and other Gram-positive bacteria in the skin flora. Citrobacter freundii is mostly a cause of nosocomial infection and rarely causes catheter-related bloodstream infection. In this article, a 39-year-old male patient who underwent hemodialysis developed catheter related bloodstream infection due to Citrobacter freundii was presented. Citrobacter freundii grew in the patient’s peripheral blood and blood samples taken from the catheter. Ceftriaxone treatment was applied to the patient for 10 days, after treatment clinical and laboratory findings improved. In conclusion, it should be kept in mind that Citrobacter freundii, one of the Gram-negative bacteria, may be the causative agent of catheter-related bloodstream infection, especially in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
