Epidemiology and Management of Ventriculitis in a Middle-Income Country: Experience from Brazil
DescriptionThis presentation delves into the epidemiology and clinical management of ventriculitis within the unique context of a middle-income country, with a specific focus on insights gleaned from Brazil's healthcare system. Ventriculitis, a serious complication characterized by inflammation of the cerebral ventricles, poses significant challenges in resource-limited settings due to constrained healthcare resources and infrastructure. Drawing from extensive experience and data from Brazil, the talk explores the prevalence, risk factors, diagnostic approaches, and treatment modalities for ventriculitis in such environments. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the epidemiological trends, common pathogens, therapeutic strategies, and outcomes associated with ventriculitis, as well as practical considerations and adaptations necessary for effective management in middle-income countries. Through case studies and evidence-based recommendations, the presentation aims to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to improve the diagnosis and management of ventriculitis in similar resource-constrained settings.
