DESCRIPTION:Worldwide\, the largest cohort of new cases of pediatric hydro
 cephalus acquire hydrocephalus after infection. In most cases we do not k
 now the causative agents or the infectious history prior to hydrocephalus
 . In Uganda\, we have found that the most common organism associated with
  postinfectious hydrocephalus was a novel strain of Paenibacillus thiamin
 olyticus\, deriving from a newly described neonatal sepsis syndrome – Neo
 natal Paenibacilliosis. The organism is highly neurotropic and the mortal
 ity in neonates is high. The risk of infection is environmentally driven 
 and correlates with rainfall. We are actively engaged in field work to tr
 ack down the environmental sources and routes of infection\, expansion of
  PCR surveillance\, and spatiotemporal modeling to predict diagnosis and 
 optimize treatment at point of care. YSPH values inclusion and access for
  all participants. If you have questions about accessibility or would lik
