[Blood culture analysis in children with central venous catheter].
We analyzed 99 blood cultures taken from 28 children with central venous catheter. Children were hospitalized in pediatric, pediatric surgery and pediatric intensive care department. All samples were collected from peripherial vein. Positive blood cultures were obtained more frequently from children with central venous catheter than from children without central venous catheter (57.5% vs. 7.4%). Staphylococcus epidermidis was the most frequently obtained bacteria. The other bacterial species were obtained less frequently. The highest percentage of multi resistant straines was isolated from blood samples collected from intensive care department patients. In each departments in which coagulase-negative Staphylococci were isolated, metycillin-resistant straines dominated.
