Abstract
summary Due to the high rate of colonization, patients with atopic dermatitis are at risk of S. aureus bloodstream infection, the most severe manifestation of S. aureus infections. Intravascular devices and the skin are the major portals of entry for S. aureus in AD. With prompt and adequate diagnostic and therapeutic management, mortality is lower than in Non-AD patients with SAB and severe sequelae can be averted. Important preventive strategies include AD treatment to reduce S. aureus colonization and meticulous care of intravascular catheters, which should not be placed in/on lesional atopic skin.
