چکیده

Within the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc), B. cenocepacia portends increased mortality compared with other species. We investigated the impact of Bcc infection on mortality and re-infection following lung transplant (LT). Species designation for isolates from Bcc-infected patients was determined using 16S rDNA and recA gene analyses. Of 75 cystic fibrosis patients undergoing LT from September 1992 to August 2002, 59 had no Bcc and 16 had Bcc (including 7 B. cenocepacia) isolated in the year before LT. Of the latter, 87.5% had Bcc recovered after transplantation, and all retained their pretransplant strains. Survival was 97%, 92%, 76% and 63% for noninfected patients; 89%, 89%, 67% and 56% for patients infected with Bcc species other than B. cenocepacia; and 71%, 29%, 29% and 29% for patients with B. cenocepacia (p = 0.014) at 1 month, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years, respectively. Patients infected with B. cenocepacia before transplant were six times more likely to die within 1 year of transplant than those infected with other Bcc species (p = 0.04) and eight times than noninfected patients (p < 0.00005). Following LT, infection with Bcc species other than B. cenocepacia does not significantly impact 5-year survival whereas infection with B. cenocepacia pretransplant is associated with decreased survival.

Clinical outcome following lung transplantation in patients with cystic fibrosis colonised with Burkholderia cepacia complex: results from two French centres.

BACKGROUND Infection with Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) is a life threatening complication of cystic fibrosis (CF), often seen as a contraindication for lung transplantation. METHODS A long term retrospective study was conducted of all patients with CF undergoing lung transplants from January 1990 to October 2006 in two French centres allowing transplantation in patients colonised with B...
