La enfermedad pulmonar avanzada (EPAV) es la principal causa de morbimortalidad en pacientes con Fibrosis Quística (FQ). Objetivo: describir características clínicas de pacientes con FQ con EPAV y mortalidad en el seguimiento. Método: Estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo de pacientes con FQ y EPAV: VEF...
Cystic Fibrosis is a multisystemic inherited disease that requires ongoing care by multidisciplinary teams. The objective of this study is to describe changes on nutrition and lung function in a cohort of patients in a Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Care Center at the Hospital Infantil Universitar...
INTRODUCTION: cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic, progressive disease with multisystem involvement and high mortality. An early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach lead to longer survival and better quality of life. OBJECTIVE: to characterize the patients who died with CF diagnosis in the period be...
La espectrometría de masas (EM) (matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight) MALDI-TOF demostró ser una herramienta robusta para la identificación de numerosos grupos taxonómicos. No obstante, presenta limitaciones. Una ventaja clave de la técnica es la flexibilidad para la incorpora...
In recent years there has been a global increase in nontuberculous mycobacteria isolates, especially in patients with cystic fibrosis. As its clinical and radiological characteristics overlap with other infectious agents, diagnostic guidelines were generated based on evidence from patients who do not pre...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the impact of Burkholderia cepacia complex colonization in cystic fibrosis patients undergoing lung transplantation. METHODS: We prospectively analyzed clinical data and respiratory tract samples (sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage) collected from suppurative lung disease patients...
ABSTRACT CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: The prevalence of a variety of potentially pathogenic microorganisms in cystic fibrosis patients, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), has increased over the past decade. Given the increasing prevalence of MRSA and the few data available in the lite...
RESUMEN Objetivos. Caracterizar a nivel molecular las bacterias patógenas de las vías respiratorias de pacientes peruanos con fibrosis quística (FQ). Materiales y métodos. Se caracterizaron las comunidades bacterianas cultivables a partir de muestras de esputo de pacientes pediátricos y adultos ...
Abstract In Brazil the knowledge about methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection in cystic fibrosis patients is scarce. This study aimed to determine the incidence of respiratory tract colonization and the identification rates after a standardized treatment. A retrospective cohort was perform...
