摘要
Sepsis is an important and serious complication in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Here we report on a case of spina bifida with ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt infection who was on HD and underwent at least 5 months of investigations before a source of the infection was found and eventually treated successfully. We believe this to be the first reported case of VP shunt-associated sepsis in a patient on HD.
