In a study of 212 children at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu who received ventriculo peritoneal shunt for hydrocephalus over a 13-year period (1977-1989, 14 had infected shunts and one developed shunt nephritis. Staphylococcus aureus was responsible for 36.4% of the positive cultures and was responsible for the only case of shunt nephritis. This is about the fourth case of shunt nephritis associated with Staphylococcus aureus shunt infection, in the literature. The pertinent features of this case were intraventricular haemorrhage as the cause of the hydrocephalus, frequent revision of shunts before the onset of nephritis and full recovery following intravenous antibiotic therapy and reimplantation of a new shunt.
在尼日利亚大学教学医院（位于埃努古）进行的一项研究中，212名儿童在13年期间（1977年至1989年）因脑积水接受了脑室腹腔分流术，其中14人分流管发生感染，1人出现分流性肾炎。金黄色葡萄球菌在阳性培养物中占36.4%，并导致了唯一一例分流性肾炎。这是文献中第四例与金黄色葡萄球菌分流感染相关的分流性肾炎病例。该病例的相关特征包括：脑积水由脑室内出血引起；在肾炎发作前频繁更换分流管；静脉抗生素治疗和重新植入新的分流管后完全康复。
