  Initial fever, cough, shortness of breath and chest pain can progress worryingly quickly until the patient is at substantial risk of generalised organ failure. [action.org.uk]

  If you or someone in your care has chest pains, difficulty breathing, or severe bleeding, it could be a life-threatening emergency. Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number immediately. [healthlinkbc.ca]

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]

Treatment combinations including nebulised colistimethate sodium were more effective (n=31/54, 57%) than those with systemic antibiotics alone (n=2/10, 20%) (t-test, p=0.04). [erj.ersjournals.com]

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]
