The cerebrospinal fluid isolates associated with the infection can be Gram-positive or -negative, while the Enterococcus spp. is rarely identified. We report a case of a 68-year-old woman with a past medical history of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and coronary artery disease. She was admitted to the intensive care unit following a scheduled sphenoid wing meningioma resection. Her course was complicated with left middle cerebral artery pseudoaneurysm and hemispheric hemorrhage, and an arterial stent and external ventricular drainage catheter were placed. Neurological evaluation showed a minimal conscious state. She presented high fever on the 35th intensive care unit day. Cerebrospinal fluid was sampled and the external ventricular catheter was removed. Enterococcus faecalis was isolated from the culture specimen. The patient received targeted treatment with an ampicillin plus ceftriaxone combination, and a follow-up culture confirmed the pathogen\u2019s eradication. Although she was considered cured, she had a prolonged intensive care unit stay and finally died in the ward two months after the completion of treatment. This case highlights the first reported use of this combination in a severe, non-endocarditis, invasive enterococcal infection, while the review discusses treatment options for nosocomial ventriculitis\/meningitis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens14010003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,26]],"date-time":"2024-12-26T19:33:07Z","timestamp":1735241587000},"page":"3","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Treatment Options for Nosocomial Ventriculitis\/Meningitis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0419-2639","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marios","family":"Karvouniaris","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Intensive Care Unit, Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care, AHEPA University Hospital, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54636 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zoi","family":"Aidoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Intensive Care Unit, Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care, AHEPA University Hospital, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54636 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eleni","family":"Gkeka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Intensive Care Unit, Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care, AHEPA University Hospital, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54636 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stella Niki","family":"Primikyri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Intensive Care Unit, Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care, AHEPA University Hospital, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54636 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-7796-1633","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Konstantinos","family":"Pagioulas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Intensive Care Unit, Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care, AHEPA University Hospital, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54636 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elena","family":"Argiriadou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Intensive Care Unit, Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care, AHEPA University Hospital, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54636 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"697","DOI":"10.2147\/IDR.S326456","article-title":"Current Perspectives on the Diagnosis and Management of Healthcare-Associated Ventriculitis and Meningitis","volume":"15","author":"Karvouniaris","year":"2022","journal-title":"Infect.
