This article provides an in-depth analysis of the problem of neurosurgical infections, their causes, clinical manifestations, methods of diagnosis and treatment. The work highlights the significance of modern neurosurgery, the types of postoperative infections and the role of causative microorganisms, in particular, the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, E. coli, Pseudomanas aureginoza, klebsiella, and Cutibacterium acnes. It is also mentioned that fungal and viral infections occur, especially in patients with weakened immunity. The study emphasizes that clinical, radiological (CT, MRI) and microbiological (culture, PCR, lumbar puncture) methods play an important role in the diagnosis of infections. Strict adherence to the rules of asepsis and antisepsis in the prevention of infections, as well as such surgical measures as empirical and targeted antibiotic therapy, abscess drainage, and shunt removal, are shown as effective ways. The relevance of the work lies in the fact that neurosurgical infections are one of the most important problems in the healthcare system today, and their early diagnosis and treatment are important for improving the quality of life of patients. The research results provide a scientific and practical basis for improving the effectiveness of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infections in neurosurgery.
