The incidence of cerebrospinal fluid shunt infections has fallen in recent years, but they still represent a major consumption of resources in neurosurgery, especially paediatric neurosurgery. A variety of approaches and a wide range of drugs are available for their treatment, but despite the use of 'appropriate' antimicrobials the failure and relapse rates are sometimes high and repeat courses have to be given.
近年来，脑脊液分流感染的发生率有所下降，但在神经外科手术中，尤其是小儿神经外科手术中，它们仍然是资源消耗的主要部分。治疗方法多样，可用药物广泛，但尽管使用了“合适的”抗菌药物，失败率和复发率有时仍很高，不得不进行重复疗程治疗。
