  • Title: [Nephritis caused by ventriculo-atrial shunt: possible cure without reoperation of the valve?].
    Author: Gourrier E, Leraillez J, Seilanian M, Mouchnino G.
    Journal: Arch Fr Pediatr; 1989 May; 46(5):355-7. PubMed ID: 2764682.
    Abstract:
    A case of ventriculo-atrial shunt nephritis in a 3 year-old child is reported. It was induced by an infection with Staphylococcus Albus. Complete cure of kidney disease was obtained with antibiotics (Oxacilline and Rifampicine) alone without resorting to surgical removal of the valve. Attention is drawn to the fact that a long-term clinical and biological follow-up is necessary to make sure that this conservative attitude does not compromises renal function.
