Lung Abscess: An Early Complication of Lung Transplantation in a Patient with Cystic Fibrosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 22-year-old woman with cystic fibrosis (CF) developed lung abscess, as a rare complication caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii infection, after lung transplantation (LT). After 6 months of long-term antibiotic therapy, the abscess was successfully eliminated. In reviewed published literature, no previous report was found describing this kind of complication caused by MDR A. baumannii in post-LT patient with CF. In our experience, lung abscess in LT recipients with CF can be successfully treated with prolonged antibiotic therapy.

متن کاملA Review of The Role of The Microbiome on Immune Responses and Its Association With Cystic Fibrosis
In recent years, the microbiome has been recognized as a key regulator of immune responses. Evidence suggests that changes in the microbiome can lead to chronic disease and even exacerbation of the disease. Impairment of innate immunity resulting from microbial incompatibility may worsen host susceptibility to infection and exacerbate chronic lung diseases. Specific microbes play a key role in ...

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...
