Pseudomonas infection of the umbilical stump in the neonate present as a spreading erythema associated with the typical green fruity-smelling discharge. Pseudochromhidrosis due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa presents as green-black sweat. [dermnetnz.org]

• Poor Growth

  However, none of the iron-poor growth media routinely used for pyoverdine production (CAA medium, succinate medium, and King's B liquid medium) allowed such production in our hands, while another nonfluorescent siderophore was produced in large amounts [doi.org]

• Chest Pain

  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]

  Chest pain can also occur. 2: Entering the body via a wound or burn to the skin Any kind of damage to the skin, such as a cut or burn, can supply an entry point for Pseudomonas aeruginosa to use. [legionellacontrol.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]

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]

Importantly, treatment by S100A8/A9 provides local infection control. Implications for a role as adjunctive treatment in healing of chronic biofilm-infected wounds are discussed. [isim.ku.dk]

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]

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

Prognosis Prognosis depends on the site of infection and the underlying health of the individual patient. Acute fulminant infections (eg, bacteraemic pneumonia, septicaemia, burn sepsis and meningitis) are associated with significant mortality. [patient.info]
