TY - JOUR T1 - Airway Dehiscence After Lung Transplantation in a Patient With Cystic Fibrosis JF - Respiratory Care SP - 1746 LP - 1750 VL - 55 IS - 12 AU - Don Hayes, Jr AU - Kevin W Hatton AU - David J Feola AU - Brian S Murphy AU - Timothy W Mullett Y1 - 2010/12/01 UR - http://rc.rcjournal.com/content/55/12/1746.abstract N2 - The presence of resistant pathogens in the lower airways of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is not an absolute contraindication for lung transplantation. We describe a case in which a patient with CF died as a result of an anastomotic dehiscence, ischemia, and infection with linezolid-resistant methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. We review infection issues during the post-lung-transplant period and related anastomotic dehiscence in CF. ER -
