[Catheter sepsis: pathogeny and prevention with a new connection model].
A revision is made of the issue regarding sepsis related to central intravenous catheterization. A special point was made on the relevance of latest discoveries in the field of pathogenicity in order to prevent, diagnose and treat this entity. Preventive measures should be geared to avoid intralumen infection, and success may depend on new connection models and industrial preparation of nutrient mixtures. Infected catheters must be removed, but in highly selected patients local and systemic antibiotic therapy may be attempted.
