Abstract BACKGROUND: Shunt nephritis is an immune-complex-mediated glomerulonephritis (GN) associated with chronically infected ventriculoatrial shunts inserted for treatment of hydrocephalus. [doi.org]

The optimal treatment includes timely removal of the infected shunt in combination with aggressive antibiotic therapy. [degruyter.com]

The treatment of SN consists of antimicrobial therapy and removal of the shunt. It generally has a good prognosis in the majority of early diagnosed and properly cured cases. [paedcro.com]

It generally has a good prognosis in the majority of early diagnosed and properly cured cases. Some cases of SN have a poor prognosis despite of a good therapeutical approach. Our patient was an 11-year old boy with two implanted shunts. [paedcro.com]

Treatment involves mandatory removal of the shunt and antibiotics; prognosis is variable. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
