Abstract
Infections are common complications among patients on chronic hemodialysis. Hemodialysis patients with a catheter have a two- to three-fold increased risk of hospitalization for infection and death compared with patients with an arteriovenous fistula or graft.1 CRBSIs alone have a reported incidence of 1.1 to 5.5 episodes per 1000 catheter days and are associated with increased morbidity, hospitalization, and death.3This current study investigated the demographic profile, microbiological spectrum, clinical characteristics, and laboratory parameters of patients with NHTCs with CRBSI at Victoriano Luna Medical Center.
