“…According to the literature, 70 to 80% of shunt infections occur within the first postoperative month and 15% occur from the first to the ninth postoperative month 4 . lima et al 4 reported a surgical infection rate of 27.6% (16/58) per surgical procedure and of 32% (16/50) per patient, with about 80% of cases being diagnosed within the first postoperative month. since the present patients were only studied for a short period of time, our infection rate is probably higher than reported in that study 3 .…”
