Summary

Removal of a central venous catheter (CVC) is often useful to prove its responsibility in a bloodstream infection. To avoid unnecessary removal of CVC, some catheter-spearing diagnostic methods have been recently developed. The aim of the study is to evaluate three catheter-spearing diagnostic methods in critically ill children: 1) the measurement of the differential time to positivity between a blood culture drawn from a peripherical vein and another one drawn through the CVC; 2) the exam of a blood sample drawn for the CVC and stained by acridine orange leucocyte cytospin test; 3) the semi-quantitative skin culture of the area around the insertion site of the CVC.
