Core Tip Rates of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) are high among children with biliary atresia listed for liver transplantation. While most CLABSI represented enteric flora, Candida was isolated in 21% of events, suggesting that it may be appropriate to consider the use of antifungals in this population when empiric therapy doesn’t lead to expected clinical improvement. Since no factors we tested appeared to predict CLABSI, we propose that prevention efforts should be focused on universal and meticulous application of known CLABSI-reducing strategies, such as line insertion bundles.
