We describe the first case of infection of a neurosurgical shunt by Candida glabrata in an adult. The risk factors, clinical picture and response to therapy have been similar to similar cases caused by other Candida sp. We must emphasize the unequivocal features of infection and the rapid and probably complete response to removal of the device.
我们描述了首例成年患者因光滑念珠菌感染神经外科分流器的病例。其危险因素、临床表现及对治疗的反应与其他念珠菌属引起的类似病例相似。我们必须强调感染的明确特征以及移除装置后迅速且可能完全的反应。
