An international, multicentre evaluation and description of Burkholderia pseudomallei infection in cystic fibrosis
Conclusion:
Chronic carriage of B. pseudomallei in patients with CF appears common after infection, in contrast to the non-CF population. This is often associated with an accelerated clinical decline. Lung transplantation has been performed in select cases of chronic B. pseudomallei infection.
