Abstract
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an increasingly prevalent cause of nosocomial infections. This report describes a 5-month-old male diagnosed with a S maltophilia ventriculoperitoneal shunt infection after a neurosurgical procedure. Intravenous trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and moxifloxacin successfully treated the patient. A literature review revealed a scarcity of similar reports, with none using moxifloxacin as an effective concomitant treatment with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.Entities:
