[Incidence of bacterial infections during hemodialysis treatment].
44 chronic hemodialysis patients were evaluated over a period of 24 months regarding location and kind of bacterial infection, hospitalization, influence on rehabilitation and the course of infection episodes (IE). During 409,5 dialysis patients months (DPM) we observed 61 IE's, i.e. 14,9 IE per 100 DPM. Out of 59 hospitalization episodes 33 (56%) were due to bacterial infections. 774 from 1559 hospital days were caused by infections. In 6 cases IE was the cause of death. It could be excluded that duration of dialysis treatment, renal disease or uremic complications are correlating with bacterial infections.
