Abstract
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A panel of experts was convened by the International Society for Infectious Diseases (ISID) to overview
recommendations on managing and preventing vascular catheter infections, specifically for the
prevention and management of central line-associated bloodstream infections. These recommendations
are intended to provide insight for healthcare professionals regarding the prevention of infection in the
placement and maintenance of the catheter and diagnosis as well as treatment of catheter infection.
Aspects of this area in pediatrics and in limited-resource situations and a discussion regarding the
selection of empiric or targeted antimicrobial therapy are particular strengths of this position paper.
