Pseudomonas aeruginosa'ya bağlı ventrikülitli bir olgu

Abstract

Ventriküloperitoneal şant, hidrosefalisi olan hastaların intrakranial basıncını azaltmak amacıyla sıklıkla kullanılır. Şant enfeksiyonları ventriküloperitoneal şantı olan hastaların %7-9’unda görülür ve mortalite oranı %10-13’tür. En sık etken koagülaz-negatif staŞlokoklardır. Ventrikülit ise vent- riküllerin enfeksiyonu olup, şant enfeksiyonlarının en ciddi, morbidite ve mortalitesi en yüksek komplikasyonudur. Burada meningosel ve hidrosefali nedeniyle ventriküloperitoneal şant konu- lan bir hastada gelişen Pseudomonas aeruginosa’nın neden olduğu ventrikülit olgusu sunulmaktadır

Keywords
