1. Study of anticardiolipin antibody in hepatitis C virus-positive patients
Several antibodies, including anticardiolipin antibodies (ACA), have been detected among chronically infected hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients. The present work aimed at ascertaining the clinical significance of ACA levels among HCV infection associated with two commonly encountered diseases, thrombocytopenia and arteriovenous-shunt malfunction. Six groups w

2. Study of variability of the treatment of cerebrospinal fluid shunt infections among brazilian neurosurgeons / Estudo da variabilidade do tratamento das infecções de um sistema de derivação ventriculo peritoneal entre neurocirurgiões brasileiros
Infectious complications following surgical treatment of hydrocephalus with shunt implantation remains a very challenging condition in pediatric and adult neurosurgical practice. Some surgical strategies and clinical therapy have been used by many neurosurgical centers around the world but still now there isn t a consensus regarding what general strategy can

3. Spondylodiscitis associated with recurrent Serratia bacteremia due to a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS): a case report
We report a case of spondylodiscitis caused by multiresistant Serratia marcescens in a cirrhotic patient who had several Serratia bacteremias after the placement of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) device. We concluded that an endovascular stent that can not be removed makes management of recurrent bacteremia difficult. Furthermore, bac

4. Successful treatment of vancomycin-resistant enterococcus ventriculitis in a child
Enterococci are an uncommon cause of CNS infection. A 20 month-old boy, diagnosed with hydrocephalus with ventriculoperitoneal shunt and history of lengthy hospitalization and use of wide spectrum antibiotics, was admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit diagnosed with ventriculitis. On the 14th day of empirical antibiotic therapy (vancomycin and merope

5. GROWTH AND PUBERTY IN CARRYING PATIENTS OF ANEMIA FALCIFORME / INFECÇÕES EM DISPOSITIVOS NEUROLÓGICOS IMPLANTÁVEIS EM CRIANÇAS E ADOLESCENTES
The management of hydrocephalus by means of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) has, as a major threat, surgical infections. Factors, such as cause of hydrocephalus, age below six months, shunt primary insertion, trainaing curve of surgeons, conditions of antisepsis and length of the procedure contribute to the occurrence of infectious complications. The stud

6. INFECÇÕES EM DISPOSITIVOS NEUROLÓGICOS IMPLANTÁVEIS EM CRIANÇAS E ADOLESCENTES / GROWTH AND PUBERTY IN CARRYING PATIENTS OF ANEMIA FALCIFORME
O tratamento cirúrgico da hidrocefalia através da derivação ventrículo peritoneal (DVP), tem nas complicações infecciosas o seu maior desafio. A etiologia da hidrocefalia, crianças menores de seis meses, inserção primária do sistema de derivação, inadequada habilidade técnica da equipe cirúrgica, condições de assepsia e anti-sepsia e duraç�

7. Infection of modified Blalock shunts.
A left-sided interposition graft (modified Blalock-Taussig anastomosis) was constructed with polytetrafluoroethylene in a three month old child with tetralogy of Fallot. This shunt thrombosed and a replacement shunt became the site of chronic Pseudomonas infection. The second anastomosis was excised and a third interposition graft was inserted on the right s

8. The flora of renal haemodialysis shunt sites.
During investigations of the microbial flora of the skin over haemodialysis shunt sites it has not proved possible to predict clinical infection by a preceding colonization of the shunt site with a pathogenic organism. The normal non-pathogenic flora of the sites is not specifically related to the flora of other sites on the body though Staphylococcus aureus

9. Infection of Central Nervous System by Motile Enterococcus: First Case Report
A 66-year-old man with four indwelling ventriculoperitoneal shunts for multiloculated hydrocephalus from a complicated case of meningitis a year before developed shunt infection based on a syndrome of fever, drowsiness, and cerebrospinal fluid neutrophil pleocytosis in the background of repeated surgical manipulation to relieve successive shunt blockages.

10. Ventricular peritoneal shunt infection caused by a member of the rhodochrous complex.
Microorganisms of the rhodochrous complex were isolated in pure culture from a ventricular peritoneal shunt in a 5.5-month-old child.

11. Cerebrospinal fluid ascites: a complication of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt
A 1 year old Caucasian male born with an omphalocoele, malrotation of the large bowel, and Ladd's bands developed an E. coli wound infection and subsequent meningitis-ventriculitis which responded to antibiotic therapy. Aqueductal stenosis and obstructive hydrocephalus initially was treated with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. After a routine diphtheria-pertus

12. A suprasellar subarachnoid pouch; aetiological considerations.
A child with hydrocephalus treated by a valved shunt was reinvestigated after developing a shunt infection. A pouch was discovered invaginating the floor of the third ventricle and filling slowly with CSF from the region of the interpeduncular cistern. Histology and mechanisms of this pouch formation are discussed.
