nosocomial ventriculitis/meningitis, especially those due to drug-resistant strains, has substantially increased over recent years. However, limited therapeutic options exist for the ventriculitis/meningitis because of the poor penetration rate of most antibiotics through the blood-brain barrier.
A 57-year-old male patient developed ventriculitis from an extensively drug-resistant strain of after the decompressive craniectomy for severe traumatic brain injury. The patient was successfully treated with intraventricular and intravenous polymyxin B together with intravenous tigecycline.
The case illustrates intraventricular polymyxin B can be a therapeutic option against extensively drug-resistant ventriculitis.
近年来,医院获得性脑室炎/脑膜炎(尤其是由耐药菌株引起的脑室炎/脑膜炎)显著增加。然而,由于大多数抗生素通过血脑屏障的穿透率较低,因此对于脑室炎/脑膜炎的治疗选择有限。
一名 57 岁男性患者因严重创伤性脑损伤行减压性颅骨切除术,后出现广泛耐药菌株引起的脑室炎。该患者成功接受了脑室和静脉注射多黏菌素 B 联合静脉注射替加环素治疗。
该病例表明,脑室注射多黏菌素 B 可能是治疗广泛耐药鲍曼不动杆菌脑室炎的一种选择。
