Herein described is a case of biofilm obstructing ventriculoperitoneal shunt due to infection in a patient with coccidioidal meningitis. infects and obstructs cerebral shunts by the production of biofilm; however, diagnosis is usually missed by routine aerobic cultures. Obtaining anaerobic cultures routinely in patients with foreign body implants leading to central nervous system infections could prevent a missed diagnosis of this pathogen. Penicillin G is the first-line treatment.
本文描述了一例因感染新型隐球菌性脑膜炎而导致脑积水分流管生物膜阻塞的病例。新型隐球菌通过生物膜的产生感染和阻塞脑分流器;然而,常规需氧培养通常会漏诊。对因异物植入导致中枢神经系统感染的患者常规进行厌氧培养,可预防漏诊这种病原体。青霉素 G 是一线治疗药物。
