CASE PRESENTATION: A 1-year-old girl was presented to a hospital in the northeastern part of Ghana with a 1-week history of pustular rashes on her scalp and neck, which occasionally ruptured, along with discharge of yellowish purulent fluid. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] procedures that may be helpful in specific scenarios include the following: Fluorescein staining and slit-lamp examination of the cornea for keratitis Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage or bronchial brushing Thoracocentesis See Workup [emedicine.medscape.com]

Extensive diagnostic workup for an infectious focus was performed with no results. Finally, an oscillating mass on the aortic valve was detected by TEE five weeks after the initial positive blood cultures. [bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com]

Adoption of the treatment guideline leads to a reasonable complete cure rate of Pseudomonas peritonitis. Treatment with three antibiotics is not superior than the conventional two antibiotics regimen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Nebulized colistin is also a potential treatment for this infection. [bronchiectasisnewstoday.com]

Three of the trials compared active treatment with placebo or no treatment. [cochrane.org]

Compared to pneumonia caused by other pathogens, P. aeruginosa CAP exhibits rapid progression, high severity and poor prognosis. [bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com]

The importance of this research is illustrated by the high numbers of infected people, the treatment burden posed and the resultant poor prognosis. So far... [cysticfibrosis.org.uk]

It is known to be particularly virulent, with pseudomonas keratitis being more difficult to treat and have worse prognosis than other forms of bacterial keratitis. [eyewiki.aao.org]

[…] another study, this bacterial phenotype, known as the mucoid phenotype, is associated with considerable difficulty in eradicating the pathogen, leading to a strong inflammatory response and resulting in an accelerated loss of lung function and a poorer prognosis [cysticfibrosisnewstoday.com]

Pseudomonas causes a wide spectrum of diseases; therefore, prognosis is varied. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The purpose of this study is to compare the adhesion capabilities of the most important etiologic agents of microbial ocular infection to the recently available silicone– hydrogel lenses with those to a conventional hydrogel lens. Methods. [repositorium.sdum.uminho.pt]

The other medically important members of this genus are B. pseudomallei and B. mallei, the etiologic agents of melioidosis and glanders, respectively. [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]
