Summary:A case of a three-month carrier-state of P. aeruginosa in the hands' skin of a nurse in a newborns reanimation department is described. The carrier state did not seize after the nurse was isolated from work and was related with colonization of the dermal tissue, therefore, it could be detected only after the hands' skin was treated with a detergent solution. The carrier state was arrested after a chemotherapy course with cyprofloxacyn administered both locally and perorally.
