Características del líquido cefalorraquídeo en niños con infecciones del sistema de derivación ventrículo-peritoneal

Abstract: RESUMENUna complicación frecuente (5%) de las derivaciones de líquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR) es la infección. Se han utilizado las características citoquímicas del LCR para decidir el tratamiento antimicrobiano empírico inicial. El objetivo fue investigar las características citoquímicas y microbiológicas que presentan los LCR de niños con pioventriculitis asociadas a sistemas de derivación ventrículo-peritoneales. Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo, descriptivo y analítico. Se incluyeron 32 casos de pioventri… Show more

“…Intraventricular or subarachnoid haemorrhage, cranial fracture with CSF leak, drain irrigation, craniotomy and duration of catheterization (more than 5 days) are all associated with increased risk of infection associated with EVD [1]. Most data on incidence of ventriculitis exists from studies of children with long-term ventricular shunts, in whom infection occurred in 5–15% [59]. Data on incidence of bacterial ventriculitis in children with temporary EVD are sparse and mostly available from mixed adult and children populations, in which bacterial ventriculitis affects up to 20% of patients with EVD [3, 10, 11].…”
