A 38-year-old man with a ventriculoatrial shunt presented with non-specific symptoms (headache, back pain, night sweats) and inconclusive laboratory results. He showed an extremely high titre of antibody to Staphylococcus epidermidis which proved diagnostic of shunt infection. This was confirmed on shunt removal and he was successfully treated.
一名患有脑室-心房分流术的38岁男性出现非特异性症状(头痛、背痛、盗汗),实验室检查结果不明确。他对表皮葡萄球菌的抗体滴度极高,这证实了分流感染的诊断。分流移除术后得到了证实,他得到了成功治疗。
