Intraventricular tigecycline as a treatment for multidrug-resistant Chryseobacterium indologenes ventriculitis. About a pediatric case. Infect.

Ventriculitis due to Chryseobacterium indologenes can be a major therapeutic challenge, especially when the germ acquires intra-treatment resistance to common antimicrobials. Intraventricular tigecycline could be an excellent option in these cases.

We present a schoolgirl`s case who received successfully intraventricular treatment with tigecycline.

Palabras clave : ventriculitis; Chryseobaterium indologenes; multidrug resistance; intraventricular tigecycline.
