Neurosurgical infection treated with fosfomycin and 6-methylprednisolone.
    Chemotherapy, 1977, Volume: 23 Suppl 1

    A left parietal parasagittal meningioma was removed in a 67-year-old female patient. In the postoperative period she had a neurosurgical cerebral suppurating infection: subdural, epidural and epicranial, connected to the exterior by several fistulas. In the operative revision and after a culture, the germ causing the infection, E. coli, was isolated. Treatment was begun with 16 g of intravenous fosfomycin and 120 mg daily of 6-methylprednisolone intramuscularly, and this treatment cured the patient.
