Hepatic abscess and cystic fibrosis.
Extrapulmonary infection is rare in cystic fibrosis. We describe two adult patients with cystic fibrosis whose course was complicated by the development of liver abscesses. The possible aetiology of these abscesses is discussed and the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of pyogenic hepatic abscess is briefly reviewed.
متن کاملMetastatic choroidal abscess due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients with cystic fibrosis.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is regularly isolated from the lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis. However, this organism does not usually spread to involve other sites in these patients as it can in other groups of patients [1]. We describe two patients with cystic fibrosis and choroidal abscesses due to P. aeruginosa; bacteremic spread of the organism from a distant source was presumed to have occ...
متن کاملAntibiotic Susceptibility of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Isolated from Cystic Fibrosis Patients
Abstract Background and Objective: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common bacteria colonized in CF patients. Growing resistance of this bacterium to antibiotics now a day is a challenge of controlling infection in CF patient. In this study colonization of CF patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and antibiotic suscep...
متن کاملLung abscess in cystic fibrosis.
Almost all patients with cystic fibrosis eventually develop chronic pulmonary infection with specific bacterial pathogens, notably Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Despite this, the development of large pulmonary abscess cavities in patients with cystic fibrosis is exceedingly uncommon. Similarly, bacteraemia in cystic fibrosis is surprisingly rare. We describe a patient with c...
متن کاملPseudomonas cepacia in cystic fibrosis.
Pseudomonas cepacia, a Gram negative bacillus first described as a cause of soft rot in onions, is now recognised as an important opportunistic pathogen in altered hosts.' A distant relation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, it is ubiquitous in the environment and frequently found in association with soil, water, and plants. It is a hardy organism, able to multiply in distilled water and survive in ma...
