SAMUDIO-DOMINGUEZ, Gloria Celeste y ORTIZ-CUQUEJO, Lidia María. Compassional use of Intraventricular Tigecycline in ventriculitis caused by Enterococcus faecium. Six pediatric cases. Infect. [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.3, pp.169-172. ISSN 0123-9392. https://doi.org/10.22354/in.v24i3.862.
Introduction:
Tigecycline is a drug of restricted use in pediatrics. The use of this antibiotic intraventricularly is a decision of compassive use in cases of highly resistant bacteria, and in cases where there is no other alternative.
Clinical case:
We present six cases of patients with a diagnosis of ventriculitis caused by Enterococcus faecium, who received intraventricular tigecycline with successful microbiological evolution. The doses used intravenously and intraventricularly are discussed.
Conclusions:
the use of this antibiotic intraventricularly can be a successful alternative in cases of highly resistant germs, when there are not alternative options. Key words: ventriculitis, Enterococcus faecium, tigecycline, intraventricula
Palabras clave : ventriculitis; Enterococcus faecium; tigecycline; intraventricular.
