- Antibiotics
- The newspapers are full of warnings against the adverse effects of antibiotic treatment. My pediatrician tells me that frequent or long term antibiotic treatment is not good. The doctor in the CF center however, prescribes antibiotics whenever my child coughs. I do not know anymore what's the best for my child.

- Fertility / Risk of fertility in a man with CF
- Dear ladies and gentlemen, a fertility test has shown - as assumed - , that I am sterile on natural way. However, the urologist has been able to extract two whole sperm cells from the sperm. Now my question: Do I have to take contraceptional measures due to these two sperm cells (probably sometimes there are three or ten or 5000) ? The statement of the gynecologist of my girlfriend was "no", as the risk to get pregnant from me was lower that in case two healthy people contracept with the pill.... Many thanks for your statement!

- Inhalative corticosteroids - copayments in Germany
- Dear ladies and gentlemen, the benefit of inhalative corticosteroids seems to be questionalbe in CF. As the course of my Cf illness is stable for many years however (on a quite low level; FEV1 about 1 l), and I do not want to endanger it, I inhale daily Flutide Forte [Gernman medical system](drug: fluticasone). Unfortunately, due to the current copayments (in germany) I have to pay another 12 Euros per inhaler besides the usual copayments. Do you know less expensive alternatives to that drug - my CF-doctor and my pharmacist are of the opinion that there are no such alternatives. Furthermore, according to my experience, Flutide Forte (drug: fluticasone) is more accommodating for me than for example Pulmicort (drug: budesonide). Yours sincerely and thank you for answering,

- Burkholderia gladioli
- Hello! The last throat culture test that our ten years old son underwent showed the presence of Burkholderia gladioli. The outpatient department told us that it was a harmless species, I should not google since Burkholderia was not harmless generally speaking. He should be treated i.v. immediately if possible and might not go to the University respectively to the physiotherapy unless a test showed negative evidence twice. However, this does not sound harmless at all! How is this germ to be evaluated and is there no other way of treatment? While googleling (of course I did) there was information about i.m. administration of Ceftadizim and oral administration of Cotrimoxazole. Furthermore, I found some comments regarding orchids; I have some orchids in the kitchen and living room. Thank you very much for your help.
