Infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with end stage renal disease. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an unusual yet emerging pathogen in dialysis units. We performed a systematic PubMed/Medline and Scopus review of peer-reviewed English papers on S. maltophilia 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.
感染是终末期肾病患者发病率和死亡率的重要原因。嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌是透析单位中一种不常见但正在出现的病原体。我们对慢性透析患者中嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌感染的同行评议英文论文进行了系统的 PubMed/Medline 和 Scopus 综述，涉及血管通路、全身感染和环境污染。此外，我们还提出了一种治疗方案，以保护患者和永久性透析导管。
