Abstract

Abstract:

Healthcare-Associated Ventriculitis and Meningitis (HCAVM) are closely related to neurosurgery. HCAVM is most commonly caused by gram-positive bacteria, but gram-negative infections have been on the rise in recent years. Intracranial infection caused by extensively drug-resistant (XDR) gram-negative bacteria leads to serious sequelae and high mortality. We reported that a pediatric patient with XDR Acinetobacter baumannii ventriculitis after neurosurgery was cured through multidisciplinary cooperation, in order to provide experience for the successful diagnosis and treatment of similar diseases.

Key words: Intracranial infection, Extensively drug-resistant, Acinetobacter baumannii, Polymyxin
