Featured Cases: Emerging Pathogens in Cystic Fibrosis

Volume 3, Issue 12.

Case studies offer opportunity to differentiate the needs of each patient when managing respiratory infections. Dr. Elliott Dasenbrook will review the prevalence of important CF organisms over the last 10 years, the impact of respiratory tract MRSA on survival, the association between a virulent strain of P. aeruginosa that can spread among patients and lung transplant or death, as well as the impact of chronic non-tuberculous Mycobacterial lung disease on lung function.
