Inhalation of Gentamicin in patients with stop mutation
- Question
- Many thanks for answering my question. However I expressed myself probably unclearly: I had read that gentamicin, appart from its antibacterial effect, has a potency to treat CF patients with stop mutations, like the one of my son (deltaF508/R553X). So my question is, whether it could make sense for my son to inhale Gentamicin, despite the fact that Pseudomonas cultured from his sputum was tested resistant against this substance.
With thanks and friendly greetings,
