Abstract
Transient or sustained colonization of the buttonhole tract by staphylococci and asymptomatic bacteremia is common in hemodialysis patients, implying a substantial risk for access-related infections among patients using a buttonhole cannulation technique. These findings suggest the possible value of surveillance of buttonhole colonization.
