Abstract: Infection following ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery is a serious complication. Among severe infections caused by Pseudomonas , non-Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections are relatively rare, and there are currently no case reports of central nervous system infections caused by Pseudomonas xanthomarina . Here, we present the first case of retrograde central nervous system infection by Pseudomonas xanthomarina following ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement.
