Anticipative Diagnosis of Central Venous Catheter Related Bloodstream Infections

Summary

Up to date methods for diagnosis of Catheter Related Bloodstream Infections (CRBSI) are performed only when CRBSI is clinically suspected. Thus, patients may actually suffer from CRBSI and are at risk to concurrently suffer from or develop complications like endocarditis or septic embolism when diagnostic procedures for the detection of CRBSI are introduced. The aim of the project is to investigate a more sensitive and specific test for anticipative diagnosis of CRBSI using biphasic PNA FISH test compared to Gram stain/AOLC test.
