    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study shows that combining intraventricular and systemic antibiotics successfully treated Salmonella meningitis in infants when standard methods failed. Prolonged treatment via a reservoir led to normal development in all patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Infectious Diseases
    • Neuroscience
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Salmonella meningitis in infants is a serious infection.
    • Standard antibiotic treatments can be challenging to cure.
    • Intraventricular antibiotic delivery may overcome treatment resistance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report successful treatment of infant Salmonella meningitis.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of combined intraventricular and systemic antibiotics.
    • To describe the long-term outcomes of this treatment approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Three infants with refractory Salmonella meningitis were treated.
    • Intraventricular antibiotics were administered via a ventriculostomy reservoir.
    • Treatment duration was prolonged (29-59 days) with systemic antibiotics.

    Main Results:

    • All three infants achieved successful treatment outcomes.
    • Ventricular fluid cultures remained positive initially, indicating persistent infection.
    • No complications related to the intraventricular reservoir were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Combined intraventricular and systemic antibiotics offer a viable treatment for resistant Salmonella meningitis in infants.
    • Intraventricular delivery may be crucial for eradicating persistent organisms.
    • Long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes were favorable, even with shunt procedures.
