Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae Infections in Children with Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunts
Pediatric Neurosurgery, 07/21/09
Shurtleff DB et al. – Children with CSF shunts are at high risk for infection with H. influenzae and S. pneumoniae. Routine immunizations during infancy in addition to the 23–valent polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine should be highly and actively encouraged by health care providers caring for children with CSF shunts. Additional expanded–coverage vaccines should be utilized if and when they become available.
