Pseudomonas aeruginosameningitis/ventriculitis in a UK tertiary referral hospital

Abstract: Pseudomonas aeruginosa meningitis and ventriculitis are predominantly nosocomial and related to prior neurosurgery. It can be difficult to diagnose as CSF Gram-film and meningism are insensitive markers. Appropriate empirical treatment, neurosurgical prophylaxis and surveillance can aid in managing this infection.

“…MDR (multi-drug resistance) was de ned as acquired nonsusceptibility to at least one agent in three or more antimicrobial categories [15]. Pseudomonas meningitis was diagnosed when patients ful lled the following criteria: a positive P. aeruginosa culture of cerebrospinal uid (CSF) and clinical evidence of P. aeruginosa meningitis [16]. P. aeruginosa peritonitis was diagnosed when patients had clinical evidence of an intraabdominal source of infection and a positive ascitic uid culture with P. aeruginosa [32].…”

“…Терапия может проводить ся меропенемом или цефтазидимом в дозе 2 г каждые 8 ч. внутривенно [232], в комбинации (в соответствии с чувствительностью штамма) с ципрофлоксацином в дозе 400 мг каждые 8 ч. внутривенно или в режиме монотерапии. Среди других потенциально эффектив ных антибиотиков в случае чувствительности штамма следует рассмотреть применение фосфомицина в дозе 1624 г/сут, а также интратекальное или внутрижелу дочковое введение [233,234]…”
