Respiratory infection with Alcaligenes species appears to have little effect on the clinical status of patients with cystic fibrosis, a small study suggests.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are rarely infected with chronic Alcaligenes species infection, researchers report, and the one in 50 that is infected has similar rates of decline in clinical and pulmonary function as do CF patients without the infection.
The findings come from a study of a clinic population of 557, who were also found to have no excess deterioration in clinical and pulmonary measures in the two years before infection compared to the two years after.
