chronic pseudomonas

Question

I cannot understand why my child after the treatment is clean, but after 4-6 months he has pseudomonas again. What are we doing wrong? Can there be something in the environment of the child? What should I pay attention to? We are tired with this situation. I hear about other parents who say that their children are without pseudomonas for two years and I get disappointed. We have not spent one summer free of treatment for the last 4 years. The test we do in June is always positive for pseudomonas.

Answer

Dear friend,
As you say your child is almost permanently colonized with pseudomonas. There is a treatment (effort) for the eradication of pseudomonas. In children the eradication is possible for a variable time period, from 6 months to 15 years. In rare cases and in a small percentage this is not possible.
You should pay attention to the fact the drug treatment must be combined with daily physiotherapy.
It is also known, since many years ago, that the viral winter infection lay the ground for the appearance of pseudomonas.
Yours friendly,
Dr. Stavros Doudounakis
