[Treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis in a child].
The report deals with the case of a 10-year-old girl with chronic cystic fibrosis. She has been repeatedly treated at the hospital. She has been hospitalized due to respiratory deterioration. Cystic fibrosis is a rare disease, inherited autosomaly recessively, but is very complex in terms of diagnostic and treatment. Fibrosis is the formation of scar tissue due to injury or long term inflammation. The diagnosis is confirmed based on a clinical picture of the child, measure of Chloride in the sweat, chest X-ray, CT thorax, laboratory findings--genetic confirmation CFTR genes. The diagnosis is originally set when she was 4 years old. She is now admitted due to a deterioration of the main disease. Five days before the admission, the girl had a higher bodily temperature, cough and difficult breathing. Due to the deteriorated general condition and the respiratory insufficiency and respiratory acidosis in blood gas analysis, the girl was intubated and put on the complete mechanical ventilation (IPPV). Since the girl is a chronic patient with bronchiectasie chronic walls of bronchi changes full of the mucus, who is not responding to conservative treatment (antibiotics), therapeutic and diagnostic flexible bronchoscopy had to be performed, resulting in a gram-negative bacteri Pseudomonas aeruginosa--a typical bacteri for chronically sick C. F. patient. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is typically acquired in early childhood. This bacteria is giving progressive lung disease and often aggravates morbidity and mortality. So the main thing as a respiratory management is prevention of lung infection with this bacteria. A Pseudomonas therapy was prescribed according to the sensitive antibiogram, (Garamycin). Antibiotics are crucial to treating cystic fibrosis lung infections. Therapy with an amynoglicoside in combination with a B-lactam or a quinolone antibiotic is standard. It is a difficult to deliver a high doses at these antibiotics via the iv. route without significant systemic adverse events (otoxicity and nephrotoxicity). A reformulation of the aminoglycoside antibiotic tobramicin or garamycin therapy is solution for inhalation. To be well established infections the suppression of Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been shown to lead to decreasing same bacteria and benefits lung function from antibiotic therapy in a way that can be maintained over extended period. During bronchoscopy was given locally on changes mucous pulmozyme (to destroy a very hard mucous) and garamycin. So, after taking out a lot of mucus, it was later continued spontaneously. Control chest x ray and blood gas analysis are now very improved.
