Paediatric ventriculoperitoneal shunt infection caused by Actinomyces neuii.

Ian A Anderson1, Fazain Jarral1, Kavita Sethi2, Paul D Chumas1.   

Abstract

We present the first reported case of ventriculoperitoneal shunt infection secondary to Actinomyces neuii in a paediatric patient. Our patient was managed with temporary shunt removal, intrathecal antibiotics and a prolonged course of intravenous and then oral antibiotics. She went on to make a complete recovery. Subsequent cerebrospinal fluid analysis at 5 months post-treatment demonstrated no evidence of residual infection. 2014 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.
