PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA

Question: My granddaughter Iris is diagnosed with cystic fibrosis complicated with P. aeruginosa. What do you think about the P.Aeruginosa vaccin? It would be helpful for her?
Answer: We apologize for the delayed answer. From current data they are a series of trials and research going on vaccination against Pseudomonas, with some optimistic results but insufficiently documented, so there is no authorized vaccine available on the market at the moment. If the infection is present the vaccination has no sense; therapy of infection consists in antibiotic therapy to eradicate P.aeruginosa.
Hoping to be helped, thank you for the call site-ECORN CF.
Sincerely, ECORN romanian team; 26.01.2009
