BACKGROUND: Ventriculostomy-related infection with multidrug-negative strains are challenging to treat. We report the use of new antibiotics in such a case.
CASE DESCRIPTION: We report the case of a neurosurgical intensive care unit patient who developed ventriculostomy-related infection with a multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis. Vancomycin, recommended in such cases, was not used due to high minimal inhibitory concentrations and concerns for lack of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic target attainment. Daptomycin and ceftaroline remained the only treatment options. Daptomycin was shown microbiologically ineffective after 10 treatment days, with undetectable cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentration. Ceftaroline, a novel beta-lactam agent to which the strain showed susceptibility, was thus used. Serum and CSF samples were assessed for antibiotic concentrations. Our results show that CSF bacterial clearance was obtained after 6 days of such treatment. Serum and CSF samplings showed low penetration ratios (2.6%-4.8%), probably due to mild inflammatory CSF profile, with CSF concentration at minimal inhibitory concentration level.
CONCLUSIONS: We observed than even in the case of mild meningeal inflammation, ceftaroline penetration in CSF, although moderate, enabled efficient bacterial clearance and clinical efficacy, in adjunction to correct ventriculoperitoneal shunt management.
