The present stu~y W~$ pQrtorm~d on 4~ paticntg tram
cardiology unit of cairo university. Thirty pati~nts
underwent tu intervention cardiac c~thBtBrizatlon and

cultures.
The study show~d that the bacterasmia in pre cathQteri~
atian samples reprasent about 4.4% (intervention
cases 5.7\ whil~ diagnostic ca~~S haa no bactaraemia.
On the other hand, the post catheterizeti~n bacteraemia
was 35.6% (36.7% versus 33.3%. respectivelY). This
