Guest guest Posted October 16, 2002 Report Share Posted October 16, 2002 I am sure that this is a basic question for most of you and maybe even a sensitive one. If so, I appologise in advance. What's on my mind... If I visit a friend, who's child has cf and is positive for PA, will I carry the PA home to my Granddaughter that also has cf?

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 I see on here alot of people asking about Pseudomonas being transfered to other cf patients, at our hospital where my son goes when the kids enter the cf center they must put on a mask so as not to transfer PA to each other and to wash hands very carefully,I hear that some centers are not that strict on infection control so each parent and child needs to make this a top priorty for themselves because once you get it , it just seems to never go away and it is something you DONT want. Make sure your cleaners you use in your home cover killing pseudomonas some do some dont, if you can use one that does why not use that one? right also HAND washing is so important Re: Spreading PA I had a sitter that volunteered at the hospital playroom and yes, there were children there that had cf and pa. My docs at UNC Chapel Hill asked me to have her change her clothes and shoes and wash hands really well. They also said a shower would be great!!I just asked her not to come on those evenings. This is one docs opinion.....hope it helps.....Crystal, mother of 17monthswcf,mi > > I am sure that this is a basic question for most of you and maybe > > even a sensitive one.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 If you read the side of the can on alot of the cleaners will say it kills pseudomonas auespirlllas (wrong spelling) I did not discover this until my son came down with the darn thing.
