Abstract
Intraventricular polymyxin B is an effective treatment for carbapenem-resistant MDR/XDR Gram-negative bacilli, with a 78% cure rate and significant mortality reduction if administered within 7 days of bacterial identification. Multiloculated hydrocephalus and the pupillary light reflex may be used as prognostic indicators of mortality.
