Patty,

Depends how deep the culture comes from. We usually rely more on

broncoscopies than sputum results. Although we received Eilish's sputum

result today which showed nothing. I trust this because she had a

bronc, about three or so weeks ago and in showed no PA. After IV's its

absolutely possible to culture PA. We did a 15 month continuos Cipro &

Colistin combination to eradicate PA. That was 2001. She has been

clear since her first test after all that on Nov 2001. During that 15

months every 3 months she would have a bronc. and IV's then go back on

it for another 3 months etc. It has worked very well and for us we

swear by the hit it hard routine.

PA Culture

Hey there!Does anyone know why PA in a sputum culture would not be

evident but during a deep throat culture evidence of PA appears?

Nothing had been said to me about it in previous cultures but during

gallbladder removal they did a deep throat.STILL nothing was said

until they heard crackles in his lungs.Is there a chance the drs

arent looking close enough to bbegin with?And after the iv

w/timentin and tobra should i expect the PA to be gone completely?

Thanks

Patty, mom to ty8wcf and 2 wocf

P.S. Special thanks to Bev w/your help with the CF Pharmacy!:):)
