简要总结

The objectives of this study are:

  • To describe the incidence of clinical features in adults with internal ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt infections,
  • To determine the validity of laboratory parameters in adults with internal ventriculoperitoneal shunt infections and
  • To evaluate the relationship between the timing of shunt re-implantation with the rates of relapse and secondary infection.

详细描述

Information from medical records of patients seen by the PI will be collected and analyzed to describe the incidence of clinical features in adults with internal ventriculoperitoneal shunt infections, to determine the validity of laboratory parameters in adults with internal ventriculoperitoneal shunt infections and to evaluate the relationship between the timing of shunt re-implantation with the rates of relapse and secondary infection.
