Abstract

PURPOSE: Improved survival in CF has been seen with aggressive antibiotic usage. However, identification of new bacteria and fungi from sputa of CF patients is increasingly being reported. The clinical implications of these isolates remain unknown. Recently, Exophiala (Wangiella) dermatitidis (Ed), has been identified in sputum of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The purpose of this study was to report our recent experience of this pathogen and determine any clinical significance in CF patients.
