Therefore, we aimed to explore a therapeutic schedule for Acinetobacter baumannii intracranial infection.Case Presentation: We reported a case of intracranial infection caused by XDR A. baumannii after severe traumatic brain injury, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea, and severe pneumonia that was successfully treated with meropenem and cefoperazone sodium sulbactam.Conclusion: This case illustrated that meropenem combined with cefoperazone sodium sulbactam could still be a therapeutic option against intracranial XDR A. baumannii infection.Keywords: intracranial infection, Acinetobacter baumannii, extensively drug-resistant, meropenem, cefoperazone sodium sulbactam |
