Successful Outcome in Treating Ventriculitis with Intrathecal Colistin in a Child
59 CNS infections due to multi-resistant strains of Acinetobacter pose a serious complication in neurosurgical patients. The widespread use of antibiotics may have altered the epidemiology of post-neurosurgical CNS infections. External ventricular drainage (EVD) is one of the procedures most widely performed in neurosurgery associated with a high infection rate of 2-33%. Risk factors for this type of infection include the duration of EVD, inadequate asepsis during manipulation of drain components, increased intracranial pressure and intraventricular hemorrhage1.
