The germiculture and drug sensitivity test were made before the treatment and antibiotic was selected.ResultsThere were 6 cases recovered, 2 cases improved markedly, 1 case improved and 3 cases unchanged. The efficient rate was 66.7%. The examination of cerebrospinal fluid showed that the levels of leucocyte and protein decreased, the glucose and chloride increased and encephalic pressure declined. 12 bacteria were verified in 12 cases and 8 bacteria were eliminated after treatment. The bacterium cleared rate was 66.7%. There were no side effects correlatives with Rocephin.ConclusionVein and intrathecal injection with Rocephin is effective on intracranial infection after traumatic brain injury.
