Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Tammy, I got this from the cff website. When my recently diagnosed niece had her tune-up last month they admitted a boy with cf shortly before her discharge. At that point, at any time when either he or my niece left their room they had to wear a mask. Hope this helps, Jill How can someone reduce the chance of acquiring B. cepacia from another individual? In the CF care center, staff strive to prevent the transmission of B. cepacia between people with CF by using proper infection control measures that limit close contact between persons with CF. Such measures include separating CF patients on hospital units and seeing them in the clinic on different days. CF Foundation-accredited care centers also follow strict procedures when cleaning clinic rooms, pulmonary function labs, and respiratory therapy equipment to reduce the risk of contamination. These measures to minimize cross-infection are recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and are implemented by the infection control staff at the hospital. It is helpful to ask the CF care center team about the hospital's efforts to minimize risks to people with CF, as not all hospital staff members are fully aware of the risks to people with CF of cross infection from these bacteria. B. Cepacia Hi all, I have a quick question for all of you. We were at clinic this morning for 's follow up appt (she was admitted in Oct for pneumonia) Her x-rays show that there has been very little improvement, so we are being sent to another hospital approximately 5 hours from our home. My question is, while at clinic this morning, I found out that one of the other patients who was scheduled to see the doctor this morning is B. Cepacia positive. Is it normal practice to have patients with Cepacia attend clinic with patients who don't have it???? Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Thank you, Were all crossing our fingers and hoping for improvement here as well. She's been battling this bout of pneumonia since April. We've been through two hospital admissions and numerous antibiotics and still no improvement It's come as quite a shock to us as she has been extremely healthy up until this.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 I always thought that if one Cf'er cultures something, it is best to keep them away from other cfers. I would be a little alarmed if I found out my child was within close contact with this person. Maybe I am just paranoid? Cheryl, mom to 3 boys, Zac 7 yrs. wocf, Jake 3 yrs. wocf, Matty 21 mo. wcf B.

This mornings x-rays show that there has been very little change in the pneumonia it is not improving.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 , That sounds like a great idea....our clinic however, does not work that way. The kids end up sitting in the same waiting room together for hours at a time between seening the RT's, dieticians Dr. etc. Sounds like your clinic is a whole lot more organized than ours.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 In our clinic, we check in at the front desk. They take us and put us in an exam room right away. They send us to pft's and to x-ray if we need to go. We then go back to the exam room and there we stay until it is time to leave. The dietician, social worker, gastrointerologists and anyone else that we see comes into the room to see us. We never see any of the other patients. Tina W., mother of , almost 18yoa wcf Re: B.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Tammy, I would definitely write to the CFF in land and mention this. Not to alarm anyone, but this practice needs to be stopped quickly. You can quote from their own web site. Imagine a newly diagnosed baby with parents who are still freaked out who don't know anything about CF yet even. Like Shana and Dana and so many who are out there looking out for themselves and their loved ones, we owe it to all the other CF families to keep them safe. I'd be happy to write for you if you want. They are pretty used to hearing from me Lenora >Thank you, > >Were all crossing our fingers and hoping for improvement here as >well.
