    Bilateral Chronic Subdural Hematoma Contaminated with Klebsiella Pneumoniae: An Unusual Case
    (Korean Neurosurgical Soc, 2009) Bakar, Bülent; Sungur, Cem; Tekkok, İsmail Hakki
    This article presents the case of a bilateral chronic subdural hematoma which was contaminated with Klebsiella pneumoniae and resulted in a life-threatening central nervous system infection. After repeated of bilateral burr-hole drainage, the patient became hyperpyrexic and drowsy. Suppuration within the subdural space was suspected and then the patient underwent bilateral fronto-temporo-parietal craniotomies, and pus was evacuated. Its cultures revealed Klebsiella pneumoniae. Intravenous meropenem was given for 6 weeks. He recovered completely. Microorganisms like Klebsiella pneumoniae may directly infect the subdural space with iatrogenic contamination.
