Cepacia Syndrome in a Non-Cystic Fibrosis Patient
Burkholderia (formerly Pseudomonas) cepacia complex is a known serious threat to patients with cystic fibrosis, in whom it has the potential to cause the fatal combination of necrotizing pneumonia, worsening respiratory failure, and bacteremia, known as Cepacia syndrome. The potential for this pathogen to infect non-cystic fibrosis patients is limited and its epidemiology is poorly understood. ...
متن کاملChronic Burkholderia cepacia bronchiectasis in a non-cystic fibrosis individual.
Infection with Burkholderia cepacia due to social contact is well described in patients with cystic fibrosis. However, social transmission to non-cystic fibrosis individuals or chronic colonisation in non-cystic fibrosis individuals has not been described. A report of B cepacia bronchiectasis is presented where a previously healthy mother of two cystic fibrosis children colonised with B cepacia...

متن کاملBurkholderia cepacia complex and cystic fibrosis
The bacteriae previously known as ‘Burkholderia cepacia’ have been reclassified as nine closely related species, sometimes referred to as ‘genomovars’ (Table 1), (Coenye et al, 2001; Mahenthiralingam et al, 2002). Collectively these are commonly referred to as ‘Burkholderia cepacia complex’ (Bcc). The various genomovars have different pathogenic potential (Keig et al, 1999; Bevivino et al, 2002...
