| Abstract |
Acinetobacter baumannii nosocomial ventriculitis/meningitis, especially those due to drug-resistant strains, has substantially increased over recent years. However, limited therapeutic options exist for theAcinetobacter baumanniiventriculitis/meningitis because of the poor penetration rate of most antibiotics through the blood-brain barrier. A 57-year-old male patient developed ventriculitis from an extensively drug-resistant strain ofAcinetobacter baumanniiafter the decompressive craniectomy for severe traumatic brain injury. The patient was successfully treated with intraventricular and intravenous polymyxin B together with intravenous tigecycline. The case illustrates intraventricular polymyxin B can be a therapeutic option against extensively drug-resistantAcinetobacter baumanniiventriculitis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 March 2018.
All research outputs
#14,608,019
of 24,003,070 outputs
Outputs from Antimicrobial Resistance & Infection Control
#895
of 1,347 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#238,303
of 452,602 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Antimicrobial Resistance & Infection Control
#36
of 45 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,003,070 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,347 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.6. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 452,602 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 45 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
