The use of the ASET in the diagnosis of ventriculoatrial shunt infection.

Jacqueline Reaper¹, Sally Ann Collins, Roger Bayston.

Abstract

A 38-year-old man with a ventriculoatrial shunt presented with non-specific symptoms (headache, back pain, night sweats) and inconclusive laboratory results. He showed an extremely high titre of antibody to Staphylococcus epidermidis which proved diagnostic of shunt infection. This was confirmed on shunt removal and he was successfully treated.
