Airway dehiscence after lung transplantation in a patient with cystic fibrosis.
The presence of resistant pathogens in the lower airways of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is not an absolute contraindication for lung transplantation. We describe a case in which a patient with CF died as a result of an anastomotic dehiscence, ischemia, and infection with linezolid-resistant methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. We review infection issues during the post-lung-trans...
متن کاملImpact of burkholderia infection on lung transplantation in cystic fibrosis.
RATIONALE Lung transplantation offers the only survival option for patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) with end-stage pulmonary disease. Infection with Burkholderia species is typically considered a contraindication to transplantation in CF. However, the risks posed by different Burkholderia species on transplantation outcomes are poorly defined. OBJECTIVES To quantify the risks of infection w...
متن کاملCancer risk among lung transplant recipients with cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Previous studies demonstrated increased digestive tract cancers among individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), particularly among lung transplant recipients. We describe cancer incidence among CF and non-CF lung recipients. METHODS We used data from the US transplant registry and 16 cancer registries. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) compared cancer incidence to the general popul...
متن کاملConcomitant Cryptococcosis and Burkholderia Infection in an Asymptomatic Lung Transplant Patient with Cystic Fibrosis
Concomitant pulmonary infections with Cryptococcus neoformans and Burkholderia cepacia in lung transplant recipients are very rare and create unique diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. Herein, we present a double lung transplant patient with cystic fibrosis who was found to have coinfection with these two rare organisms, though he was completely asymptomatic.
متن کاملColon cancer in lung transplant recipients with CF: increased risk and results of screening.
OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of colon cancer in lung transplant recipients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and review screening colonoscopic findings in other recipients with CF. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed for all patients with CF transplanted at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics (January 1994 through December 2010). RESULTS Four of 70 transplant rec...
