Abstract

La modalidad domiciliaria de la nutrición parenteral (NPD) mejora la calidad de vida de los pacientes, pero tiene complicaciones como infecciones asociadas a catéter (IAC) y complicaciones mecánicas. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con NPD por intestino corto que desarrolla una endocarditis sobre catéter con matices especiales: asentar sobre un catéter abandonado en aurícula derecha y tratarse de una infección con participación de un microorganismo no descrito hasta el momento en esta patología, Trichoderma longibrachiatum. El catéter se extrajo mediante cirugía convencional. En la pieza quirúrgica se aislaron Staphylococcus epidermidis, Ochrobactrum anthropi y Trichoderma longibrachiatum. Combinando el tratamiento antibiótico y la eliminación del foco infeccioso se consiguió la recuperación completa. Ochrobactrum anthropi y Trichoderma longibrachiatum son microorganismos poco habituales, pero que cada vez adquieren mayor relevancia. Aunque no existe acuerdo en el manejo de los catéteres intravasculares “abandonados”, es recomendable el seguimiento y eliminarlos en caso de complicación.
Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) improves the quality of life of the patients although it has complications. Catheter-related infections and mechanical complications are the most frequent ones. We report the case of endocarditis over catheter in a man suffering from short bowel and receiving HPN. The special features of the case are firstly the catheter was a remaining fragment on the right atrial and secondly the infection was caused by Trichoderma longibrachiatum, an isolated fact regarding this pathology so far. Conventional surgery was applied to take the catheter out. Staphylococcus epidermidis, Ochrobactrum anthropi and Trichoderma longibrachiatum were isolated from the surgical specimen. The extraction of the infected catheter along with antibiotic therapy led to the complete recovery of the subject. Ochrobactrum anthropi and Trichoderma longibrachiatum are unusual microorganisms but they are acquiring more relevance. Although there is no agreement about intravascular retained catheter management, the most recommended approach consists on monitoring them and removing the device in case of complications.
