Extensive drug resistant (XDR) Acinetobacter baumannii parappendicular-related infection in a hydrocephalus patient with ventriculoperitoneal shunt: a case report

Ventricular infection due to XDR-Acinetobacter baumanii (A. baumanii) is the most severe complication after neurosurgery which associated with high morbidity and mortality. Managing A. baumanii ventriculitis/shunt infection and multiple brain abscesses is challenging since its nature that tends to b...

description Ventricular infection due to XDR-Acinetobacter baumanii (A. baumanii) is the most severe complication after neurosurgery which associated with high morbidity and mortality. Managing A. baumanii ventriculitis/shunt infection and multiple brain abscesses is challenging since its nature that tends to be pandrug resistant to all antibiotics used. Thus, we present the first such case with problems in administration based on the available data.
