- Hospital staff and nursing staff
- Hello, I have seen a statement in the internet (however in a not quite qualified forum) which did alarm me. A nurse states there, that about 80% of the staff in German hospitals were carriers of the MRSA. Even if the exact number is not as high: It would interest me if the hospital staff is overall regularly tested for MRSA and which consequence a positive finding has. Is somebody, who carries the MRSA, allowed to work in a hospital? Can for example a correct hand hygiene prevent that an "MRSA-positive" doctor (nurse etc.) transmitts the germ to his patients? MRSA is going to be registrable at june according to the internet: what does change for the patients due to this? Many thanks for your answer.

- i.v. therapy regularly in case of chronic PsA??
- Dear Expert Team, My 11-year-old son contracted PSA 16 months ago (i.v. therapy in June 08 was not successful). Antibodies in serum were positive in April 09. FEV is 92%, and my son is very fit (no secretion, no cough, X-ray negative, good weight). Is there a recommendation for children to: - choose the Danish model, or - do annual prophylaxis with positive antibodies, or - depending on the clinical condition, 1. (next i.v. therapy at FEV decrease to what percentage? My son does not always blow evenly strong.) 2. would a lung function test every two months or earlier be a compromise??? Many thanks for your assessment.

- CF children chance
- Hello, Dear doctors , with respect for your work, I want to ask why our country can not follow the ''developed'' treatment scheme on CF? Our children prognosis is painful for us , while abroad patients live 40 - 50 years a relatively normal life? Why doctors from other cities treat disease with trienzime instead of kreon? Because of unjustified pride, children are treated superficially, not to discuss physiotherapy, eg. of respiration, the spittle. My niece (5.7 months) has piocianic and treated with antibiotics . Her disease get worse and we managed to get appointment to a clinic in Verona. The doctors from there were stunned by the treatement received by our child .I ask you to spread in country your knowledge, performance and education, in order that all physicians to be aware !

- Plague on teeth
- Hello, my daughter (8 years, CF) has a yellowish plaque on her teeth every day, difficult and on some places impossible to remove with a teethbrush. She is now for one year on Azythromycin 250mg every second day (she is not taking any other ATB). Is it possible, that Azythromycin is causing that plaque? If yes, how to avoid it (taking vitamins etc.)? Thanks.

- Journey to Thailand August 2009
- Dear expert team, I am 23 years old and have a attenuated form of CF (lung function normal, never Pseudomonas, no resp. hardly any accumulation of mucus in the lung, do not need daily inhalation, I am doing extreme sports and have actually no restriction). And now I want to fly to Thailand in 2 weeks, for spending 4 weeks of holidays there. I have now heard about the germ "Pseudomallei" and I ask myself now, if I run a great risk when visiting this country! I do not plan to go into the deep rainforest or to visit any rice fields either, but stay at the sea shore. Yours sincerely,
