Abstract
Hemodialysis catheter-related infections are associated with increased morbidity and mortality in end-stage renal disease patients. Here we present a case of an end-stage renal disease patient who presented with fever and weakness. During workup, we found a deeply inserted jugular vein double lumen catheter into the inferior vena cava that was complicated by infection.
