MICROBIOLOGICAL SPECTRUM IN CASE OF TENCKHOFF CATHETER EXIT SITE INFECTION AT PERITONEAL DIALYSIS IN PATIENTS WITH END-STAGE RENAL DISEASE

Abstract

Summary. The work is based on the results of examination and treatment of 141 patients treated with renal replacement therapy by PD at the Department of General Surgery and Department of Nephrology of the Oleksandrivska clinical Hospital in Kyiv in the period from 2007 to 2015. Within three years ESI occurred in 67 (47.5%) patients. The most common pathogen in ESI was Staphylococcus aureus - 48 (34.0%) the second most frequently pathogen was Staphylococcus epidermidis - 19 (13.5%). There were no significant differences between categories of ESI and the frequency of infection by various pathogens. After ESI catheter was removed in 12.1% of patients. In all cases of ESI caused by Pseudomas aeroginosa catheter was removed.
