Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of alcoholic skin disin-fection before PNC (perineural catheter)-removal on the detection of bacteria on the subcutaneous part of the PNC or on the tip. Furthermore, the correlation of bacterial colonization with PNC-associated local inflammation or infection was evaluated.
