Abstract

Background: Ventriculitis is associated with high mortality and negatively affects the prognosis of neurosurgical patients. Procedures that can lead to post-neurosurgical ventriculitis include craniotomy, EVD, ventriculostomy, lumbar puncture, and VP shunt insertion.The management of ventriculitis can be lengthy and expensive and ventriculitis can lead to serious long-term sequelae and even result in death.Therefore, early diagnosis, identification of the pathogen, and time to initiation of adequate antibiotic therapy are important variables that can improve the clinical outcomes of ventriculitis in children.  Objective: Assessment of the outcome of pediatric patients treated for ventriculitis at Zewditu memorial hospital.
