Abstract

Managing Acinetobacter baumannii infection is challenging during the treatment of infected ventriculoperitoneal shunt due to its propensity to develop multi drug resistance (MDR) to commonly used potent antibiotics in hospital settings. We present one such case with the challenge in its management.
