SARS-CoV-2 and Burkholderia cenocepacia infection in a patient with Cystic Fibrosis: an unfavourable conjunction?

Data so far collected by Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patient registries and Centers consortia suggest that in most patients with CF (pwCF) COVID-19 is less severe than initially predicted [1]. However, a subset of pwCF with well known negative CF prognostic factors, like diabetes and severely impaired lung function,have been shown to be prone to worse COVID-19 outcomes [2].
