Abstract

Infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with end stage renal disease. is an unusual yet emerging pathogen in dialysis units. We performed a systematic PubMed/Medline and Scopus review of peer-reviewed English papers on infections among patients undergoing chronic dialysis, with regard to vascular accesses, systemic infections and environment contaminations. Moreover, we suggest a treatment algorithm to preserve the patient and the permanent dialysis catheters.
