  • Title: Epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cerebrospinal fluid shunt infections.
    Author: Bayston R.
    Journal: Neurosurg Clin N Am; 2001 Oct; 12(4):703-8, viii. PubMed ID: 11524291.
    Abstract:
    Soon after cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts became available in the late 1950s, infection was recognized as a serious complication of their use, although the bacterial cause of the infections and the way in which they arose was not clarified for a number of years. Subsequent research has since revealed their etiology and provided data that have improved the understanding of aspects of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
