Infections of cerebrospinal fluid diversion devices in adults: The role of intraventricular antimicrobial therapy

Summary Objectives The precise role for intraventricular (IVT) antimicrobials in combination with systemic antibiotics in management of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion device-associated infections is uncertain.

description Summary Objectives The precise role for intraventricular (IVT) antimicrobials in combination with systemic antibiotics in management of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion device-associated infections is uncertain. We evaluated our current practice, comparing dual therapy against systemic antimicrobials alone. Methods All adult patients with at least two consecutive CSF isolates who were treated for CSF diversion device-related infection over a 5-year period (2005–2010) were identified retrospectively. Clinical and laboratory parameters, microbiology, surgical and antimicrobial management, and treatment outcomes were analysed. Results Forty-eight patients were identified – 25 received IVT and systemic antibiotics (group A), and 23 systemic antibiotics alone (group B). Clinical features were similar between groups, as were causative organisms. CSF leucocyte counts differed slightly ( A  >  B , p  = 0.067) but no laboratory parameters differed significantly. Infected devices were generally revised ( A  = 92%, B  = 91%). Mean times to CSF sterilisation and normalisation of CSF microscopy were significantly shorter for group A ( p
