Gene expression profiling of Burkholderia cenocepacia at the time of cepacia syndrome: loss of motility as a marker of poor prognosis? [PDF]

J Clin Microbiol, 2015
ABSTRACT Cepacia syndrome (CS) is a fatal septic condition that develops in approximately 20% of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients chronically infected with the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc). The most common causative agent is Burkholderia cenocepacia , a clinically dominant Bcc ...

Cepacia syndrome in a cystic fibrosis patient colonised with Burkholderia multivorans. [PDF]

BMJ Case Rep, 2011
The authors present the case of an 18-year-old girl with cystic fibrosis. Her genotype was F508/N1303K. She had sputum colonisation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus and since 2006, she also had Burkholderia cepacia in sputum, which was typed as genomovar II ( Burkholderia multivorans ).

Multi-drug resistant Burkholderia cepacia keratitis following laser in situ keratomileusis complicated by interface fluid syndrome

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2020
A 26‐year‐old female was referred to us with left eye microbial keratitis following laser in‐situ keratomileusis (LASIK) done a month ago. The vision was 20/1200. The left eye had a central infiltrate involving the flap and beyond [Fig. 1].

Cepacia syndrome in cystic fibrosis: A systematic review of the literature and possible new perspectives in treatment

Pediatric Pulmonology, 2023
AbstractBackgroundCepacia syndrome (CS) is an acute, necrotizing pneumonia with a high mortality rate, occurring in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) infected with Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC). Due to its low incidence, data on this condition are limited.MethodsWe conducted a systematic review of the reported cases of CS by searching MEDLINE ...

Successful Lung Re-transplant in a Patient with Cepacia Syndrome due to Burkholderia ambifaria [PDF]

Journal of Cystic Fibrosis, 2019
Chronic airway inflammation and infection drive morbidity and mortality among patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). While Haemophilus influenzae and Staphylococcus aureus predominate in children, the prevalence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa increases as patients age.

‘Cepacia syndrome’ with Burkholderia multivorans, 9 years after initial colonization [PDF]

Journal of Cystic Fibrosis, 2004
A 16-year-old boy with cystic fibrosis developed 'cepacia syndrome' 9 years after the first isolation of Burkholderia multivorans. It is important to recognise that 'cepacia syndrome' is not restricted to those infected with genomovar type III strains and that rapid, irreversible clinical decline can occur many years after the 1st isolation of ...

Successful treatment of cepacia syndrome with combination nebulised and intravenous antibiotic therapy [PDF]

Journal of Cystic Fibrosis, 2008
We report the case of successful treatment of a 31-year-old lady with cystic fibrosis and an en-bloc liver-pancreas transplant, who developed cepacia syndrome on a background of chronic infection with the ET12 epidemic strain of Burkholderia cenocepacia.

Successful treatment of cepacia syndrome with a combination of intravenous cyclosporin, antibiotics and oral corticosteroids [PDF]

Journal of Cystic Fibrosis, 2012
Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) is a group of 17 closely related bacterial species that can cause pulmonary infection in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). The clinical manifestations of BCC infection are varied but can include cepacia syndrome, which is a rapidly progressing necrotising pneumonia with an almost universally fatal outcome. We report
