Hi All,
My daughter is preparing to go to the hospital next week for a PICC line and IV antibiotics. She is 8 and has never cultures pseudomonas. However, her CT scan shows some infection and blockage deep down in her lungs. While she is getting the PICC she will have a bronchioscope and they will suck out some of the gunk that is way down deep and they will culture it. I will be shocked if it is not growing pseudonamas. This scares me as I have heard that it is really hard to get rid of and always comes back. I feel like her culturing it is the beginning of a very long losing battle.
She will receive antibiotics but what else can we do prevent it from returning for as long as possible?
Thanks!
Educate me about Pseudonomas please
