- Problem with urine
- For several days Ola's urine has a very unpleasant odour, I can't see the colour, because she urinates very often with small amounts of urine. Tomorrow I will go to do urinalysis. The glucose level measured with glucometer before night rest is 97. She drinks a lot. Should I worry? Greetings, Ola's mother from Opole

- Pseudomonas fluorescens
- Is intravenous antibiotic therapy necessary when Pseudomonas fluorescens is found in sputum of a CF patient? Is this type of Pseudomonas dangerous? Is the patient considered as colonised by pseudomonas? Thank you for your reply.

- Contagion
- Dear Expert Team, I have an urgent question: my new girlfriend carries the Epstein virus and had a borreliosis infection from a tick one year ago. Now my question: is that dangerous for me as a CF patient? Can I contract the virus, or is it safe? I would appreciate a quick answer! Best wishes

- Stenotrophomonas
- Dear Expert Team, My problem germs are mainly Staphylococcus, Haemophilus, sporadically Aspergillus, and currently also Stenotrophomonas. Over the past three weeks I have been feeling very sick and have had a lot of sputum and dry cough particularly at night, which has resulted in exhaustion and a high need for sleep. My doctors are now focusing on the Stenotrophomonas because they assume it to be the reason for my current ailment. However, since the Stenotrophomonas is always subliminally present everywhere, could it not also be the other bacteria? What I mean is that after the last antibiogram, only two antibiotics reacted positive to Stenotrophomonas. I tried Ciprofloxacine, which did not work, and Cefuroxime has not had a significant effect after the third day, either. Whenever Stenotrophomonas has not been detected, I have been prescribed Doxycycline and it has helped me very well. Also, I was sometimes able to convince my doctors to prescribe Doxycycline when it was presumed resistant to the existing germs [translator’s comment: patient probably meant that the germs were presumed resistant to the antibiotic]. If you are dealing with patients who are already in their mid-40s, should you as a physician not trust the patients’ sense of what helps and what does not help, and at least try it? After all, an antibiogram only provides support with the choice of antibiotic but does not ensure success in its application. As far as I know, Stenotrophomonas has not been researched enough to know what damage it does or does not cause. I was even advised to try an i.v. therapy, but with that, too, it is debatable whether it makes sense with this particular germ. I am almost ready to think about whether I will take this step, but I am also afraid of hospital germs. Many thanks.

- Our son, 8, wants to play football/soccer in a club. He is active in sports, a member of a gymnastics club and karate. Our question: Is it dangerous to play outside when it is raining and the lawn is wet or when the lawn ist still wet because it rained the day before and the drops fall on him? Thank you very much for answering this question.
