Increase in ventilated air spaces after eradication of chronic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection in cystic fibrosis patients. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Effective microbiogical eradication of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) can be obtained, but its effect is not always clear-cut in terms of spirometric indices. The aim of this observational prospective cohort study was to study the potential effect of eradication of chronic MRSA infection on lung function including ventilation distribution. Six CF patients, chronically colonized with MRSA ...
