Sepsis is an important and serious complication in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Here we report on a case of spina bifida with ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt infection who was on HD and underwent at least 5 months of investigations before a source of the infection was found and eventually treated successfully. We believe this to be the first reported case of VP shunt-associated sepsis in a patient on HD.
脓毒症是血液透析(HD)患者中一种重要且严重的并发症。在此,我们报告一例患有脊柱裂并伴有脑室-腹腔(VP)分流感染的患者,该患者正在接受血液透析,在找到感染源并最终成功治疗之前,经历了至少5个月的检查。我们认为这是首例关于血液透析患者VP分流相关脓毒症的报道病例。
