Abstract
There have been very few reports describing postlung transplant outcomes in patients' infected⁄colonized with Burkholderia gladioli pretransplant. A case involving a lung transplant recipient with cystic fibrosis who ultimately died as a result of severe rhinosinusitis due to B gladioli infection in the context of postlung transplant immunosuppression is reported.

A case involving a lung transplant recipient with cystic fibrosis who died as a result of severe rhinosinusitis due to B gladioli infection in the context of postlung transplant immunosuppression is reported
They are closely related to Burkholderia cepacia complex, which are well known for their ability to cause severe illness in cystic fibrosis patients
