Chronic sinusitus showed it's ugly side. Remember during the course of many endless consecutive months and the duration of just short of a year, all proved in vain with me taking numerous lengthly antibiotics. Nothing was helping! A long swab into the upper passage airways and the smear sent off for growth, proved conclusive. I had pseudomonas infection combined with a nasal MRSA infection. The answer lay in placing me on specific intravenous drug therapies using the ball decreasing medications at home. It took a while, but they finally got the invaders in check.

Hi Sheila F. I would like to share some information about Pseudomonas that I get from an online bronchiectasis forum (www.bronchiectasis.info). Also I would like to say that pseudomonas is a common thing among bronchiectasis patient. I meet many people online in that forum who have pseudomonas.

Pseudomonas

Pseudomonas is a frequent cause of infection in patients with bronchiectasis. The bacterium almost never infects uncompromised tissues (healthy individuals/non bronchiectasis or CF people). This infection is a serious problem in patients with Bronchiectasis and Cystic Fibrosis.

The pseudomomas is an opportunistic pathogen, meaning that it exploits some break in the host defenses to initiate an infection. Once you have the pseudomonasit will always stay. Various different treatements are given to 'keep it at bay' and to try and prevent colonization.

In the respiratory system it has a mucoid appearance, which is attributed to the production of alginate slime. The smooth and mucoid colonies are presumed to play a role in colonization and virulence.

Pseudomonas is a Gram-negative, aerobic rod belonging to the bacterial family Pseudomonadaceae. The family includes other genera, which, together with certain other organisms, constitute the bacteria informally known as pseudomonads.

Pseudomonas is notorious for its resistance to antibiotics and is, therefore, a particularly dangerous and dreaded pathogen. The bacterium is naturally resistant to many antibiotics due to the permeabiliity barrier afforded by its outer membrane LPS. Also, its tendency to colonize surfaces in a biofilm form makes the cells impervious to therapeutic concentrations antibiotics.

Only a few antibiotics are effective against Pseudomonas, including Fluoroquinolones, Gentamicin and Imipenem, and even these antibiotics are not effective against all strains.

Most Pseudomonas infections are both invasive and toxinogenic. The ultimate Pseudomonas infection may be seen as composed of three distinct stages: (1) bacterial attachment and colonization; (2) local invasion; (3) disseminated systemic disease. However, the disease process may stop at any stage. Particular bacterial determinants of virulence mediate each of these stages and are ultimately responsible for the characteristic syndromes that accompany the disease.

Hello! You have a lot of challenges to deal with.

Some NTM patients are borderline CF; others have CF. Not all patients w pseudomonas have CF. The chances of getting pseudomonas and many other respiratory infections increases after you have had a NTM infection.

I wish you the best getting pancreatitis under control.

Please keep us posted on your progress

I was diagnosed with pseudomonas about 14 years ago and was treated with IV antibiotics for 11 days and also a nebulizer for 5 treatments.....$600 for just the nebulizer as it was made in a compounding pharmacy. I did cure it.

Pseudomonas is a very common bacteria that is found in very many places and is around us almost all the time. I think, my opinion, that it takes hold in us when our immune system is vulnerable and can cause a great deal of misery in the lungs. Mine was treated at the Infectious Disease Center in my town.

Quizze,

Yes, you can feel better after the right treatment for pseudomonas is complete ; there is HOPE

I also have been diagnosed with Pseudomonas but am able to keep it under control with daily regiment of inhaling a 7 % saline solution with an Aerobika while using a vibrating vest. My pulmonologist describes it as creating an environment that the pseudomonas do not like. It has kept me from using and antibiotic.

Dee,

Anything that will lessen the chance of infection and staying off antibiotics is a huge gift!!! Thank you for sharing your words.:

Modjadje,

Hello! Did you look on the Novartis website for assistance with tobramycin? They do offer a special assistance program.

Please let us know the outcome.

I had pseudonomas. I coughed fir months and months. In March 2017, I had pleural effusion. Continued coughing, diagnosed with pneumonia June 2017. In October was 2 days from having sinus surgery, did a xray ( clear), ct-scan...still had pneumonia. Both times, 1st put on levofloxin (1 week) 750mg, 2nd levofloxin (2 weeks). Months later did sputum, had pseudomonas.

Levofloxin caused me now to need rotator cuff surgery due to a tear. Never had problems before. After each time on levofloxin, I had muscle pain, hard to walk, many commented on how I walked.

Hello! So sorry to hear about your adverse effects. There are many different adverse effects from levaquin

The most common one is tendonitis.

I have experienced tendonitis in my knee several times; it can be extremely painful.

I ha e not yet heard of issues with nail beds. Let’s see how others respond.

There are black box warnings on the group levofloxin I have told pulmo and mds so many times they just keep prescribing it.

Kandy,

Did you read my recent post about fluroquinolones causing depression

https://www.mdedge.com/chestphysician/article/170004/pulmonology/fluoroquinolones-can-cause-fatal-hypoglycemia-fda-warns

I agree that Levofloxacin is a bear. Thankfully I didn't have a tendon tear, but the joint pain was not fun. Probably good I didn't know about the depression and hypoglycemia during the 15 months I took it!

Gladys,

Hello! So happy to read your post. Yes, onecdrug May work for one person and not be effective for the next. I am just so happy to hear that this drug is working for you that you are feeling better

I have ongoing Psuedomonas , it has colonized in my lungs , No one knows how long it has been in my lungs. For now it is being kept in check with Tobramycin 300mg 2 x a day every other 28 days.
