This is especially prevalent in patients with external ventricular drains and intraventricular stents.<unk>  can cause a wide variety of short-term symptoms and long-term side effects ranging from headaches and dizziness to unconsciousness and death if not treated early. It is treated with some appropriate combination of antibiotics in order to rid the patient of the underlying infection. Much of the current research involving<unk>  focuses specifically around defining the disease and what causes it. This will allow for much more advancement in the subject.
