The main comorbidity at admission was heart disease, followed by pneumonia and bronchiolitis. The average time to infection from device insertion was of 14,76 days.Bloodcultures showed microorganism growth, being the main agents found: Serratia marcescens (10,66%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (10,66%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (8,20%).
