    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Glomerulonephritis can be associated with ventriculovascular shunts.
    • Shunt infections pose significant treatment challenges.

    Observation:

    • Six patients with glomerulonephritis and shunt infections were treated.
    • Direct intraventricular antibiotic instillation was employed in five patients.
    • Ventricular fluid antibiotic levels were monitored to ensure efficacy.

    Findings:

    • Intraventricular antibiotic instillation achieved effective drug concentrations.
    • Successful treatment led to resolution of shunt infections.
    • Clinical and laboratory parameters of renal function improved post-treatment.
