Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PS) infection is serious in children and can cause malignant external otitis, endophthalmitis, endocarditis, meningitis, pneumonia, and septicemia (Huang et al. Pediatr Infect Dis J 1). The treatment of Pseudomonas infection requires prompt medical evaluation and appropriate antibiotic treatment.
CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 6-month-old boy with an unusual presentation of acute obstructive hydrocephalus owing to Pseudomonas meningitis. Treatment with optimal antibiotic begun immediately after the pathogen was recognized and continued for 4 weeks. The patient received prompt surgical intervention for the complication of acute obstructive hydrocephalus.
CONCLUSION: The early stage of obstructive hydrocephalus caused by community-acquired Pseudomonas is rare and should be immediately detected.
