Cerebrospinal
fluid shunt systems are used
to treat hydrocephalus in infants and
children; unfortunately, some shunt
systems become infected. We sought to
define the epidemiology of shunt infections
and shunt survival prior to infection
at our institution.
|
We identified 268 shunt
procedures performed from January 1990 to June
1996 in 145 patients. There were 29 episodes
of shunt infection for an incidence of 10.8%
per procedure and 13.1% per patient. Staphylococcus
epidermidis was the most common isolate recovered.
The probability of shunt infection was highest
during the first 8 weeks after a shunt procedure
and subsequent infection was less likely after
28 weeks.
