Objectives: Describe the epidemiological profile of the primary bloodstream infections associated to central venous catheter in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a hospital in Rio de Janeiro, year 2010. Method: Descriptive and retrospective study. A database was created on Epi_info program to index data and further analysis. Results: 16 newborns (NB) evolved to BSI associated to CVC; 66,7% were pre terms and 92,3% received parenteral nutrition. The peripheral inserted catheter was the most used (55,6%), followed by umbilical venous catheter with 22,2%. Among the isolated microorganisms, 42,8% were Negative Staphylococcus Coagulase, 28,5% were Staphylococcus Aureus and 14,2% were Candida Albicans.
