Abstract

Background: HYDROCEPHALUS is a hydrodynamic disturbance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that increases the intracranial volume of CSF. Ventriculo-peritoneal SHUNT, that diverts CSF from the ventricle, is the most common treatment for HYDROCEPHALUS. Infection is the most common complication of ventriculo-peritoneal SHUNT. The role of immune system in SHUNT infection has been studied before. We did this study to evaluate the effect of SHUNT catheter on nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) assay and NEUTROPHIL CHEMOTAXIS. Methods: In this experimental, a before after study was conducted on 24 hydrocephalic children who had underwent ventriculo-peritoneal SHUNT operation in Childrens Medical Center. NEUTROPHIL count, CHEMOTAXIS and NBT were studied before operation and 2 months thereafter. Findings: There was no statistically significant difference in NEUTROPHIL count, CHEMOTAXIS and NBT in patients before and after SHUNT operation. The age of patients at the time of surgery, etiology and duration of HYDROCEPHALUS, before operation and SHUNT infection did not have any significant effect on these tests. Conclusion: Ventriculo-peritoneal SHUNT catheter could not induce systemic effect on NEUTROPHIL count, CHEMOTAXIS and NBT.
