[Tunnelled central venous catheter infection during treatment with epoprostenol].

CONCLUSION: Infection of a tunneled intravenous catheter should be considered in the case of non-specific symptoms or where there is evidence of sepsis, in patients treated with intravenous prostacyclin analogues administered intravenously. In this context, the laboratory should be warned to search for slow-growing organisms. PMID: 29602480 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
