Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Cerebrospinal fluid shunt infection can be recalcitrant. Recurrence is common despite appropriate therapy for the pathogens identified by culture. Improved diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are required, and culture-independent molecular approaches to cerebrospinal fluid shunt infections have not been described. OBJECTIVES: To identify the bacteria and fungi present in cerebrospinal fluid from...
