Role of topical antibacterial therapy in patients with cystic fibrosis

Abstract

Assess the efficacy of topical antibacterial therapy in adult cystic fibrosis patients after surgery on nasal cavity structures and paranasal sinuses. In the clinic for ear, nose and throat diseases at Sechenov University, 46 adult patients with cystic fibrosis and chronic rhinosinusitis were observed; all patients underwent extended endoscopic polysinusotomy. According to clinical studies, Isofra nasal spray is highly effective and safe in the treatment of patients with infectious diseases of the nasal cavity, nasopharynx and paranasal sinuses. The use of Isofra nasal spray (the active ingredient is framycetin sulfate) in our clinic in patients with cystic fibrosis against the background of basic therapy (inhalation with bronchodilators and mucolytics, intranasal topical steroids), had a positive effect on the microbial landscape in the nasal cavity in patients with cystic fibrosis in the postoperative period and allowed to reduce the need for the appointment of systemic antibacterial drugs.
