    Abstract:
    This paper on analysis pathogenic bacterial distribution of central veins Catheter-related Blood-Stream infection (CRBS) and clinical features of different infection. Ninety-one patients with CRBSI were selected, to analyze and research for etiological distribution, clinical characteristics, inflammatory markers and prognosis.Among the 91 cases, 31 cases were infected by Candida, accounting for 34.1%; 31 cases were infected by Gram-negative bacilli, accounting for 34.1%; 29 cases were infected by Gram-positive cocci, accounting for 31.8%. The CRBSI clinical features of Candida and Gram-negative bacilli high fever and chills, and Gram-positive coccal` moderate fever, chills. The pathogens CRBSI inflammatory markers in these 3 groups all were increased, but, the CRBSI inflammatory reaction of Candida and Gram-negative bacilli were more severe, the CRBSI fatality rate by Candida was high (P<0.05). Candida, Gram-negative bacilli and Gram-positive cocci were all the CRBSI common pathogenic bacterium. It shall pay attention to etiology research, at the same time, it shall take empiric therapy to decrease CRBSI fatality rate based on clinical features.
