  • Title: Infections in neurologic surgery. Host defenses.
    Author: Borges LF.
    Journal: Neurosurg Clin N Am; 1992 Apr; 3(2):275-8. PubMed ID: 1633459.
    Abstract:
    Normal host defense mechanisms are effective in preventing central nervous system (CNS) infection. Opsonins and compliment levels are normally low in the CNS, however. The relationship of these factors to CNS infection, specifically surgical wound infection and shunt infection, is discussed.
