Acinetobacter baumannii is an important cause of nosocomial ventriculitis associated with external ventricular device (EVD). It is frequently multidrug resistant (MDR), carries a poor outcome, and is difficult to treat. We report a case of MDR Acinetobacter ventriculitis treated with intravenous and intraventricular colistin together with intravenous tigecycline. The patient developed nephrotoxicity and poor neurological outcome despite microbiological cure. Careful implementation of bundle of measures to minimize EVD-associated ventriculitis is valuable.
鲍曼不动杆菌是与外部脑室引流装置(EVD)相关的医院内脑室炎的重要病因。它常常具有多重耐药性(MDR),预后不良,且难以治疗。我们报告一例多重耐药鲍曼不动杆菌脑室炎患者,采用静脉和脑室内注射黏菌素联合静脉注射替加环素进行治疗。尽管微生物学上已治愈,但该患者仍出现了肾毒性且神经功能预后不佳。谨慎实施一系列措施以尽量减少与EVD相关的脑室炎是很有价值的。
