Although the incidence of infection related to arterial catheterization was recently reported to be low in one pediatric intensive care unit,' nosocomial infection associated with the use of intravascular pressure monitoring devices, including arterial and central venous pressure catheters, may be overlooked. These infections may be manifested by persistent bacteremia with unusual, often water-related, gram-negative organisms (e.g., Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Serratia, or Flavobacterium species).
