Catheters for ventriculometry were implanted into the lateral ventricles of 71 neurosurgical patients. Clinical symptoms of meningitis were recorded from 5.6 per cent of them. A positive bacterial culture was obtained in one case. Reference is made to the risk of infection, and prophylactic antibiotic treatment is advocated.
