“…Recommendations for culturing and treatment of catheter-related BSI are addressed by the Infectious Diseases Society of America [138,139]. In addition, ASCO guidelines [137] • Regarding the enteral nutrition, there were significantly more infections in the PEG group (66%) compared to the NGT group (30%) p = 0.001 in the prospective study of Corry et al [124], but the difference of pneumonia between the two groups (PEG = 31.3% vs. NGT = 30%) was statistically insignificant.…”

The reporting of infection/sepsis in chemo/radiation-treated head and neck cancer patients is sparse and the problem is underestimated. A multidisciplinary group of head and neck cancer specialists from Italy met with the aim of reaching a consensus on a clinical definition and management of infections and sepsis. The Delphi appropriateness method was used for this consensus. External expert reviewers then evaluated the conclusions carefully according to their area of expertise. The paper contains seven clusters of statements about the clinical definition and management of infections and sepsis in head and neck cancer patients, which had a consensus. Furthermore, it offers a review of recent literature in these topics

“…Current guideline recommends the removal of implantable catheter for bloodstream infection, particularly due to Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative bacilli. 11 In our study, we did not count as an IAP-RBSI in patients who developed liver abscess or biloma with bacteremia, as this have been a result of secondary infection of the hepatic tumor after chemotherapy. This, however, may have potentially led to an underestimation of IAP-RBSI incidence.…”

The incidence of implantable arterial post-related bloodstream infections (IAP-RBSI) among patients with unresectable hepatic malignancies is not well defined. We reviewed the 9-year incidence of IAP-RBSI in patients with hepatic malignancies, at a tertiary care center in Japan. The incidence was 1.9 infections per 10,000 catheter days.Hepatic malignancies including primary (i.e., hepatocellular carcinoma; HCC) and metastatic tumors cause substantial mortality. Although intra-hepatic infusion of chemotherapeutic agents via an implanted arterial port has been used for treating unresectable HCC or hepatic metastases, 1-3 the incidence of implantable arterial port-related bloodstream infections (IAP-RBSI) has not been previously examined. We reviewed the incidence of IAP-RBSI in patients with hepatic malignancies.

“…Antimicrobial agents were recommended for 14 days after the last positive blood culture and resolution of signs and symptoms. Based on the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) guidelines [9], we also recommended removal of intravenous catheters when B. cereus bacteraemia occurred.…”

“…Nosocomial BSI was defined as BSI that occurred ≥48 h after hospital admission. CRBSI was defined as the isolation of B. cereus from the catheter tip culture or with no apparent source of BSI according to the IDSA guidelines [9]. Empirical therapy was defined as the first antibiotic treatment initiated at the time of blood culture and continued for more than 24 h. Adequate treatment was defined as treatment with antimicrobial drugs which had in vitro susceptibility.…”

Bacillus cereus, an opportunistic pathogen, can cause fatal infection. However, B. cereus bloodstream infections (BSIs) have not been well characterised. From 2008 to 2013, B. cereus isolates from all of the specimens and patients with B. cereus BSIs were identified. Environmental samples were collected to detect B. cereus contamination. We also characterised the clinical presentation of B. cereus BSI through analyses of risk factors for BSI and mortality. A total of 143 clinical B. cereus isolates was detected. Fifty-one patients with nosocomial infections were diagnosed as B. cereus BSI, and 37 had contaminated blood cultures. The number of B. cereus isolates and BSI patients was significantly greater from June to September than from January to April (3.4 vs. 1.0 per month and 1.4 vs. 0.2, respectively). All BSIs were nosocomial and related to central or peripheral vascular catheter. Urinary catheter [odds ratio (OR) 6.93, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 2.40-20.0] was the independent risk factor associated with BSI patients when compared to patients regarded as contaminated. In-hospital mortality among BSI patients was 20 % and was associated with urinary catheter (OR 12.3, p = 0.045) and higher Charlson index (OR 1.99,). The number of B. cereus isolates and BSI increased during summer. Inpatients with indwelling vascular or urinary catheters should be carefully monitored for potential B. cereus BSIs.

Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infection: 2009 Update by the Infectious Diseases Society of America

Abstract: These updated guidelines replace the previous management guidelines published in 2001. The guidelines are intended for use by health care providers who care for patients who either have these infections or may be at risk for them.
