Intraventricular vancomycin therapy for intractable bacillus cereus ventriculitis

초록

Bacillus cereus causes serious central nervous system infections, especially in immunocompromised patients. Successful treatment requires adequate antimicrobial concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid; however, in some cases, achieving this with systemic treatment alone is difficult. We treated intractable B. cereus ventriculitis with intraventricular vancomycin, with no major adverse events. ? 2019 The Korean Society of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.
