摘要：

Background Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is among the most common bloodstream infections in the university hospital and intensive care unit settings. This study evaluated the routine blood test findings and microbe profiles of bloodstream infection (BSI) by the presence and types of central vein (CV) access devices (CVADs). Methods A total of 878 inpatients at a university hospital who were clinically suspected for BSI and underwent blood culture (BC) testing between April 2020 and September 2020 were enrolled. Data regarding age at BC testing, sex, WBC count, serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level, BC test results, yielded microbes, and usage and types of CVADs were evaluated. Results The BC yields were detected in 173 patients (20%), suspected contaminating pathogens in 57 (6.5%), and 648 (74%) with a negative yield. The WBC count (p=0.0882) and CRP level (p=0.2753) did not significantly differ between the 173 patients with BSI and the 648 patients with negative BC yields. Among the 173 patients with BSI, 74 used CVADs and met the diagnosis of CLABSI; 48 had a CV catheter, 16 had CV access ports, and 10 had a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). Patients with CLABSI showed lower WBC counts (p=0.0082) and serum CRP levels (p=0.0024) compared to those with BSI who did not use CVADs. The most commonly yielded microbes in those with CV catheters, CV-ports, and PICC were Staphylococcus epidermidis (n=9; 19%), Staphylococcus aureus (n=6; 38%), and S. epidermidis (n=8; 80%), respectively. Among those with BSI who did not use CVADs, Escherichia coli (n=31; 31%) was the most common pathogen, followed by S. aureus (n=13; 13%). Conclusion Patients with CLABSI showed lower WBC counts and CRP levels than those with BSI who did not use CVADs. Staphylococcus epidermidis was among the most common microbes in CLABSI and accounted for the majority of yielded microbes in patients who used PICC.
